It becomes more natural to talk about this real elephant in the room.
Ever find yourself caught in a heated argument, wishing there was a better way to communicate? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' might just have the answers you're looking for. Hosts Laurie Macdougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Levine tackle the tricky issue of confrontation and how to shift it into open, meaningful conversations using the CRAFT approach. Instead of being at odds with your loved one, imagine becoming a supportive ally in their recovery journey.
The CRAFT method emphasizes the importance of good communication skills, focusing on observation rather than interpretation. This helps in keeping the conversation neutral and less charged.

They stress that practice is key—so don't get discouraged if you don't get it right immediately. With patience and persistence, you can transform confrontational moments into opportunities for connection and healing. Tune in to learn practical tips and hear real-life stories that bring these concepts to life.
