I think it's important as therapists that we do our own work and that we're in touch with our own trauma in order to better be of service to others.
Ever wonder how to measure progress in addiction treatment? In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad sits down with Nicole Bifano, a licensed clinical social worker and the assistant Clinical Director at Rock Recovery Center. Nicole dives into the nuts and bolts of creating and tracking measurable goals for clients in recovery. This isn't just about checking boxes; it's about understanding each individual's journey and providing tailored support that truly makes a difference.
Nicole shares her expertise on identifying key behaviors and patterns that signal progress or relapse. She talks about the importance of therapists doing their own emotional work, emphasizing that being in touch with their own trauma can significantly enhance their ability to help clients. The conversation also touches on how to cope with a loved one's addiction and the necessity of embracing all emotions, even the tough ones, during recovery.
One of the standout points Nicole makes is the need for personalized treatment plans. Instead of focusing solely on a client's substance of choice, she looks at broader behavioral indicators to tailor her approach. This episode is a goldmine for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of effective addiction treatment. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or working in the field, Nicole's insights offer valuable takeaways for achieving long-term sobriety.
