Cathy shares practical tips on improving communication with your child, focusing on saying the right words that can lead to positive actions and recovery.
She emphasizes that every family's journey is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. The episode also delves into the importance of positive reinforcement, setting boundaries, and making judgment calls that best suit your family's needs. Cathy believes in the power of family-centered recovery and highlights how harm reduction and medication management can be valuable tools in the recovery process.
If you're a parent wondering how to better support your child through addiction, this episode offers a wealth of insights and actionable advice.
