The goal really is for us to make changes and shifts in our own behavior and use the tools of this program. Use the basic techniques so that we can work over time to change how we see things, how we feel about things and how we interact in the world which is going to affect ourselves, and then we'll absolutely have an impact on our loved ones in one way or another.
Imagine trying to support a loved one through addiction without feeling like you're walking on eggshells. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Dominique Simone-Levine, Laurie McDougall, Annie Highwater, and Kayla Solomon share their wisdom on setting realistic expectations and harnessing CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) skills to create healthier family dynamics. The conversation centers on the power of self-awareness and the importance of pausing before reacting when emotions are running high.
Instead of aiming to control your loved one's behavior, the hosts emphasize shifting your own perspective and interactions. This subtle change can make a significant impact over time. They dive into practical communication strategies, including active listening and staying curious rather than judgmental. Personal anecdotes from the hosts bring these concepts to life, making the episode both relatable and enlightening.
If you're navigating the complexities of addiction within your family, this episode offers a compassionate guide to finding balance and fostering positive change.
