This episode dives into the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment and involving the entire family system for long-term success. One key takeaway is the necessity of choosing a qualified interventionist. Marie warns against unlicensed practitioners who may cause more harm than good.
She encourages families to take their time, ask questions, and seek out interventionists who offer realistic, supportive guidance rather than empty promises. Throughout the conversation, Marie addresses the emotional turmoil families often face during interventions. She highlights the importance of connecting with support groups like Al-Anon to find solidarity and strength. The episode wraps up with Marie's insights on measuring success in recovery, reminding us that it's a deeply personal journey where progress is unique to each individual.
