The Power of Family Therapy in Beating Addiction: Dr. Deacon Schoenberger's Insights

I'd say it's massively important, yeah, imperative, wickedly important, and whether it takes place with the family members all together or with the individual unwinding their family relationship history, it's just massively important to understand.
Imagine trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. That's what addiction recovery can feel like without addressing the family dynamic. In this episode of 'Recovery and Company', Dr. Deacon Schoenberger, a licensed psychologist and drug and alcohol counselor, sheds light on the often-overlooked aspect of family therapy in the journey to sobriety. Dr. Schoenberger breaks down what family therapy entails and why it's a game-changer in addiction recovery.
He explains how the family operates as a system, where changes in one member affect everyone else. You'll hear about common behavioral challenges within addicted families that often fly under the radar, and the crucial difference between neglect and abuse. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction but also for their loved ones who are part of the healing process. Dr.
Schoenberger's insights offer a fresh perspective on how families can work together to support recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
