An invitation to find your lost joy
Welcome to the RETURN Method
For years, I thought I was broken—trapped in
a cycle I couldn’t escape.
But I wasn’t broken. I was in pain.
And no one ever taught me how to face it.
When I finally stopped running, I discovered a quiet truth inside me.
Not perfection—just peace.
Not control—just clarity.
That truth still lives in me.
And it lives in you, too.

A Path Back to Emotional Sobriety
The RETURN Method:
Developed through Karen Welsh-Rubinstein’s own recovery journey, the RETURN Method offers a soul-centered process for women ready to stop running and start healing.
This guidebook invites you to explore what’s beneath your drinking—not with shame, but with curiosity and courage.
Through powerful reflections, emotional inquiry, and transformational practices, the RETURN Method helps you come home to the woman you were before the pain, and the one you’re becoming now.
A Simple Yet Powerful Process
As we walk the RETURN path, we don’t just talk about the drinking—we go deeper, exploring the hidden beliefs and emotional pain that led us there.
The RETURN Method gently guides you to uncover what’s been driving your patterns, so you can finally stop running and start healing.
Many programs show you what it means to recover.
RETURN shows you how—through self-inquiry, reflection, and truth-telling that leads you back to your core self.
