Kevin Petersen: Healing Families in the Face of Addiction

If, for the family, step one is, I am powerless over addiction in others and I'm powerless over other people, am I continuing to do the things that people who believe and understand that continue to do?
Kevin Petersen, the founder of the Chronic Hope Institute, takes center stage in this episode of the Jaywalker Podcast, recorded live from the Winter Symposium in Colorado Springs. Joined by hosts Stefan and Dylan, Kevin dives deep into the often-overlooked role of families in addiction recovery. Drawing from his extensive experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Kevin shares both humorous and heart-wrenching stories that highlight the critical need for family involvement in the recovery process.
The conversation touches on the complex dynamics of shame and codependency, the devastating impact of opioids, and the transformative power of family programming. Kevin's candid insights offer practical tools for families navigating the turbulent waters of addiction, emphasizing that recovery is a collective journey. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode provides valuable perspectives and actionable advice to help families heal together.
