Truly, we are not there to be the arm of the justice system. Let's figure out what was happening before this situation, because I'm guessing life wasn't awesome, and so we find things that they care about. It's for them, for their partner, for their family, for their children, for themselves.
Imagine being told you have to go to therapy, whether you want to or not. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? In this episode of 'All Things Substance', Betsy Byler tackles the common belief that mandated treatment is doomed to fail. Drawing from her extensive experience as a therapist and substance abuse counselor, Betsy shares practical tips and heartwarming stories that prove otherwise.
She discusses the importance of active listening, storytelling, and finding common ground with clients who might initially be resistant. Betsy also highlights the significance of clients choosing a therapist they feel comfortable with, rather than being randomly assigned one. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for both therapists and those curious about the therapeutic process.
Whether you're a professional in the field or someone interested in understanding how therapy can work even in challenging situations, you'll find this episode both enlightening and inspiring.
