Andrew J. Schreirer on Parenting, Self-Care, and Substance Abuse Trends

My goal isn't to use mom or dad or husband or wife to help their individual. What we were talking about is how, as a counselor, do you deal with that? So no matter whoever comes in, no matter where they are, with whatever issue, my job and my passion is to give them a space where they can talk and they can express themselves, where they're not being judged, they're not being criticized, they're not being ridiculed, they're not feeling ashamed of it.
Ever felt like you're juggling too many balls, especially when it comes to parenting and self-care? Ashleigh and Katie bring in Andrew J. Schreirer, a fellow podcaster, author, and counselor, to shed light on these very struggles. In this episode of 'Prevent This!', Andrew dives into the latest trends he's seen in counseling, offering practical advice on managing self-care while parenting.
The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as they discuss the impact of COVID on mental health and the importance of recognizing breaking points before it's too late. Andrew also touches on the evolving definitions of addiction and how education plays a crucial role in substance abuse prevention. One of the standout moments is when they talk about setting boundaries for cell phone use, a must-listen for anyone struggling to balance technology and family life.
Emotional burnout in substance abuse counseling is another key topic, highlighting the need for robust support systems in recovery. Whether you're a parent, a counselor, or someone interested in substance abuse prevention, this episode offers valuable insights and real-life advice that can make a difference.
