A Compassionate Guide to Parenting Through Addiction with Cathy Taughinbaugh

I think boundaries are important, and one of the things that you know I've learned about boundaries, a couple things I've learned about boundaries- is that to really say what you mean, and mean what you say is to be really clear.
Imagine discovering that your seemingly perfect child is secretly battling substance use. It's a nightmare scenario for any parent, filled with shock and confusion. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane chats with Cathy Taughinbaugh, a certified parent and life coach, about how to navigate these turbulent waters with compassion and positivity. Cathy, trained in Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), offers a refreshing perspective on dealing with your child's addiction.
She emphasizes the importance of setting clear, consistent boundaries while maintaining a compassionate approach. This isn't about blame or shame; it's about understanding and support. Cathy shares practical tips from her book, helping parents connect with their kids in meaningful ways. You'll also hear about the crucial role of self-care for parents, as you can't pour from an empty cup. Support groups and resources are vital tools in this journey, offering a lifeline to both you and your child.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the power of recovery and offers hope for families facing these challenges.
