Our heart is in the right place, but we miss every time because we're coming from our point of view. We're not taking the time to see and really be curious about without fixing, but just to understand the other person's point of view and how to help them from that perspective.
Ever wondered why adoptees are almost twice as likely to develop substance use disorders? In this episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction', Heather Ross sits down with Beth Syverson, an adoptive parent who has faced these challenges head-on. Beth shares her journey and the eye-opening insights she gained about her adopted son Joey's struggles with substances. They dive into the often-overlooked trauma that adoption can bring and how it impacts mental health and substance use.
This conversation is a must-listen for adoptive parents and anyone interested in understanding the deep connections between trauma and addiction. Heather and Beth discuss the importance of trauma-informed education, keeping children connected to their culture, and supporting them from their perspective. Even if adoption hasn't touched your life, this episode offers valuable lessons on compassion, support, and healing for families dealing with addiction.
