Chapter 1:

The Four Parts and the Emotion of Addiction

hen we talk about addiction, there are four important, separate but all

equally inter-connected aspects of addiction. These four aspects when

working in equilibrium together during sobriety and recovery from

addiction help the individual heal in a wholistic, integrated fashion in all four areas of ones

life. When one or more areas is not working properly and dysfunctional, it affects the other

aspects as well, contributing to dysfunction and potential relapse.W

The Four Aspects which all contribute to the wholistic healing of addiction are:

1. Body

2. Mind

3. Emotion

4. Spirit

The body aspect deals with the physical craving and the physical side of addiction.

This includes any medical issues, medical research, the physical chemistry, biology and

genetic components of addiction. The physical detoxification, medical issues and physical

cravings are all part of the body aspect. We will not be talking about this body aspect of

addiction in this book. Although obviously addiction is physical, the body aspect is an area

for scientists of medicine, biology, chemistry and genetics to debate.

Chapter 15:

Phase 3: Priorities After Taking the Addiction Temperature

n the previous chapter we see the end results of taking the Addiction

Temperature for a client in the two examples provided. The only way we can

get to the Working Change stage, Phase 4, is by first prioritizing the Addiction

Temperature reading we just took here in Phase 3. And so now our focus as

addictions professionals is to prioritize the issues according to the colors we see.

Now we do the suggestions as recommended for each color according to color

priority below.

I

There are six levels of priority in Phase 3. Here is a quick reference list of

these six priority levels that we do in Phase 3 in order of their importance for

discussion with the client:

1. Red

2. Orange

3. Brown

4. Yellow

5. Blue

6. Green

About the Author

Finding your twin heart which leads to your vision in life is like having a compass and

without your twin heart - you are lost. When the Twin Heart is Present, It Bears Fruit.

-- Nicole

y the time Nicole was 13 years old, she played seven instruments piano,

guitar, violin, clarinet, accordion, drums and xylophone. Nicole performed in

the Childrens Orchestra at Cal State Los Angeles as the first, second violinist

and clarinetist as well as in Malibus Annual Keep Christ in Christmas events as a child

with her family and their guitars. Nicole played various musical instruments throughout her

childhood in numerous different venues and winning various awards for her music,

including performing at Disneyland as a child musician on the violin. Nicole also

performed piano on the Leeza Shows Days of Our Lives Christmas special as a young

adult.

B

Alcohol plays both a recurring theme in Nicoles life and in her familys life. Little

over a month after our national 9/11 tragedy in 2001, her family experienced their own

personal 9/11. At the young age of 21 and in a new marriage to her brother, Nicoles

12


13/19

Sister-in-Law, a beautiful girl named Tina was tragically killed by a drunk driver,

devastating her family and her sister-in-laws family as well. In addition to this tragedy

from a drunk driver which still has profound implications for her family, Nicole continues to

witness first-hand as a child the damage alcohol causes when a close family member

suffers from addiction left untreated. Due to the genetic disposition of alcoholism within

her family, Nicole remains one of the few surviving members today who refrains from

drinking alcohol within her family.

On her 21st birthday, October 24 1990, Nicole stopped drinking alcohol after nearly

dying of alcohol poisoning with a .24 BAC (blood alcohol count) level and almost crashing

her car the day before. This was her second near death experience, having nearly died of

an accidental alcohol overdose from an anaphylactic seizure (allergic reaction leading to a

heart attack) at the young age of eighteen. Today in 2011, Nicole maintains her sobriety

and recovery from alcoholism for over twenty years.

Nicoles early experiences with music contributed to her sensitive, sharp phone

skills and uncanny business acumen in working with people from all walks of life,

especially on the telephone. Nicoles Grandmother, a daughter of a Lord in the House of

Commons, was a highly sought after psychic in Londons high society at the turn of the

century. Nicoles Grandmother studied the psychic arts and learned from the local gypsies

how to do tea leaf readings which were quite popular at the time. Nicole inherited her

Grandmothers psychic gifts.

Due to her own early experiences and uncanny psychic gifts, Nicole cultivated

neighbors while growing up in Malibu, California in the 1970s and 80s on which to

practice her psychic talents. In the late eighties and early 1990s,

13


14/19

Nicole became one of the earliest pioneers to operate one of the First 24 Hour Live 900

Psychic Lines, Twin Vision (America) at the young age of 21. Yes, Nicole answered her

own psychic telephone line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for many years straight!

Nicoles Original Vision and Inspiration for Twin Vision Americas Psychic Hotline

came from an old family treasure, and belief that When you find your twin heart, it bears

fruit. Discovering your twin heart in life and thus, your vision is what made Nicoles

psychic readings very unique for each client and why Nicole was so in demand for her

unusual style of psychic readings, having her cards physically born in her hands. Nicole

never took the easy way out of doing psychic readings by using Tarot cards And Nicole

always maintained that by creating her own cards they were truly organic gifts that kept

her clientele base growing and they connected Nicole to an authentic psychic energy in

helping people during the recession of the early 1990s.

Getting sober at the young age of 21 at the same time as this new adventure with

Twin Vision America, Nicole experienced incredible growth, opportunity and life changing

experiences which would later strongly influence her decision to keep her sobriety and

work on her recovery from alcoholism. Fresh out of school with a degree in Computer

Operations and Management in 1990, with the help of a business partner, Nicole was

instrumental as a background consultant with the development of telephone training for

Herbalife Internationals Cellular Wealth Builders University. The Twelve Step telephone

training program which Nicole modeled from her sobriety program at that time, helped the

re-birth and re-launch of Herbalife International in the United States, Australia and Canada

with the revolutionary telephone training concept she helped her business partner build.

This time period was also the early years and a crucial time for Nicole in her sobriety and

recovery program in addition to her business responsibilities. Because of Nicoles life

changing experiences with the Live 900 Psychic Line and being instrumental in the

14


15/19

background development of the telephone training program, historic at the time for her

then business partner, she decided to maintain her sobriety and recovery while going back

to school to study Psychology.

After quickly earning her place on the Deans List and her Honors in Humanities

at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California, Nicole transferred to the University of

Southern California (USC) and graduated this prestigious research university with

a Bachelors degree in Psychology. After earning her BA in Psychology and passing

Californias CBEST Exam, Nicole returned to Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California

after discovering a new department called Addiction Studies in her tenth year of sobriety

which started at the school after Nicole left.

Under the leadership of world-renown James Crossen, R.N., M.F.T. and Ph.D.,

Nicole is now more than half way through the Addiction Studies program as an Honors

Student in addition to maintaining her place on the Deans List at Pierce College in

Woodland Hills. Dr. Crossens cutting-edge research and program on the study of trauma

(especially relating to PTSD) and addiction influenced Nicoles decision to return to

complete her studies in addiction at this school. Recently Nicole was invited to become

a Lifetime Member of the prestigious International Honors Society, Phi Theta Kappa at

Pierce College. And Nicole was recently named as a member of the schools Presidents

List.

During the early years of the 2000s, Nicole was invited to perform the role of

Denise Brown for the IDEA Japanese Television Networks story of Nicole Brown

Simpsons and Ron Goldmans murders to be broadcast in Japan. Denise Brown is the

sister and Founder of the Nicole Brown Simpson Foundation, an organization dedicated to

speaking out against domestic violence. Nicole found it prophetic on several levels that

she played the role of an advocate against domestic violence through her performance of

15


16/19

Nicole Brown Simpsons sister, Denise Brown for a television audience. The irony of this

story would not be lost on Nicole on multiple levels. A few years later during her own

personal crisis of domestic violence, the reminder of her acting role as Denise Brown,

advocate against domestic violence gave Nicole strength to find her own voice and leave

that situation behind as a single mother with a newborn baby.

During her anti-war years at the start of the Iraq war in 2003, Nicole managed to

start and maintain a peace vigil, then a newsletter for the peace and progressive

community which found its way all around the world to an audience of thousands by

standing out and vigiling every week against the Iraq war for 2 years on the street

corner from 2003 2005. From 2006 through the end of 2007, Nicole also had her own

weekly radio show on 89.5 FM KTEC on the OIT Campus in Klamath Falls, Oregon

devoted to peace and progressive issues. As a tireless advocate for life and humanitarian

causes, Nicole participated during crucial moments in our nations history as an outspoken

advocate for the human condition.

Currently Nicole is working on writing several different books. For a current and

complete list of books by Nicole, please go to her publishers website:
