I always say nothing changes till something changes. And 97% of my work is really with family and more or less a family whisper. People are calling because they're in pain, because their identified loved one, you know, they've nagged and cheated, they've stolen, whatever they've done, and they're not able to change. And let's figure out if there's a way in which your behavior, if we change your behavior, might help change their behavior.
Imagine navigating the choppy waters of addiction within your family. In this episode of 'Recovery Recharged', Ellen Stewart, also known as the Pushy Broad from the Bronx, sits down with bestselling author Dr. Louise Stanger to tackle this tough topic.
