The ultimate goal, which is the really hard one and it's really hard to get to, is to actually notice the trigger before things are happening.
In the second part of 'Coming Up for Air's' deep dive into the CRAFT model for romantic partnerships, hosts Dominique Simone-Lavigne, Laurie Mcdougal, and Kayla Solomon tackle the complex dynamics of addiction within intimate relationships. This episode isn't just about managing substance use; it's about addressing the behaviors that affect your relationship due to substance use. You'll hear about practical tools like tracking and breathalyzers, which can be crucial for ensuring safety.
The hosts also discuss the importance of setting clear consequences for behavior, a step that can often be overlooked but is essential for maintaining boundaries and fostering a healthier relationship dynamic. What sets this episode apart is its focus on understanding and noticing triggers. The hosts emphasize the need to step back and assess situations before reacting, which can help prevent escalation and promote more thoughtful responses.
This approach not only helps in managing the immediate issues but also contributes to long-term relationship health. By concentrating on the problem rather than the substance itself, this episode provides a refreshing perspective that can be incredibly beneficial for anyone navigating the choppy waters of addiction in a romantic relationship. Whether you're currently in the thick of it or looking for strategies to support a loved one, this episode offers a wealth of expert advice and actionable tips.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and learn how to better support your partner while also taking care of yourself. The conversation is filled with empathy, practical advice, and real-world examples that make complex concepts accessible and relatable.
