When you're stuck, you have a shot at change. But there's one tiny little thing that you did differently or that you feel good about.
Imagine starting a journey where connection, curiosity, and change are your guiding stars. That's what the hosts of 'Coming Up for Air' delve into as they discuss CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) as the foundation of addiction treatment. This episode isn't just about the person struggling with addiction; it's about empowering families to create a supportive and understanding environment.
The hosts, Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater, emphasize the importance of focusing on what you can control—your actions and responses—rather than trying to change your loved one directly. They share practical advice on managing casework and researching treatment options, so you're ready when the moment for intervention arrives. But it doesn't stop there. They tackle real-life challenges, like dealing with loved ones who are 'real talkers', and offer tips on avoiding confrontations and staying patient. The key takeaway?
Notice the small victories to pave the way for bigger changes. This episode is a treasure trove of strategies to help families foster connection and model positive behavior. Plus, you'll learn about the valuable resources available on AlliesinRecovery.net, ensuring you're never alone in this journey. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that aims to transform how families approach addiction treatment.
