Facing Challenges Head-On: Practical Tips for Families Dealing with Addiction

What we're looking at is: how do you take this opportunity to take your power? So if you're not doing something in a way that's working, look at what's not working and try new things.
What stands between knowing what to do and actually doing it? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater dive into the hurdles that families face when trying to put their knowledge about addiction into practice. They focus on the importance of avoiding knee-jerk reactions and slowing down events to maintain control. Reflective listening, they explain, is a crucial skill that benefits both the person struggling with substance use and their loved ones.
Laurie and Annie also discuss the significant role family members play in the addiction journey, emphasizing the need for a functional analysis to better understand the dynamics at play. By focusing on self-soothing and self-care, families can better navigate these obstacles and regain their sense of empowerment. This episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family.
