Candace Plattor: Breaking the Cycle of Addiction with Family Healing

When we choose to help instead of enabling, the devastating cycle of addiction can be stopped in its tracks.
Imagine being stuck in a cycle where your efforts to help a loved one seem to only make things worse. That's the reality for many families dealing with addiction. In this eye-opening episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Candace Plattor, a seasoned addiction therapist, to explore how families can shift from enabling to truly helping their addicted loved ones.
Candace, who has nearly 35 years of sobriety under her belt, brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to the table. She explains how addiction is not just an individual issue but a family condition, affecting everyone involved. Through her unique Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy Program, she has helped countless families break free from dysfunctional patterns and start healing together. Candace sheds light on the crucial difference between enabling and helping behaviors.
Enabling keeps the addict stuck, while helping sets the stage for recovery. She shares practical advice on setting boundaries and emphasizes the importance of self-care for family members. You'll also hear about valuable resources like Al-Anon, which provide much-needed support for relatives of addicts. This episode is packed with insights that could be a game-changer for anyone grappling with addiction in their family. Tune in to learn how you can stop enabling and start making a real difference.
