How Do You Move from Crisis Management to Change Over Time?

Feeling like you're constantly putting out fires when it comes to a loved one's addiction? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' might be the lifeline you need. Hosts Laurie McDougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Lavigne dive into how families can transition from crisis management to meaningful change over time using the CRAFT method. CRAFT, which stands for Community Reinforcement and Family Training, isn't just about helping your loved one—it's also about helping you.

The hosts emphasize that this method provides a structured approach to understanding what works and what doesn’t in your interactions. They encourage families to try new tools, make mistakes without judgment, and gradually find a new way of being. It’s not an overnight fix; it’s a journey. Along the way, you'll learn to focus on positive behaviors, reduce catastrophic thinking, and manage anxiety and depression.

One guest shares, 'When I found CRAFT, I was over the moon, happy, if that makes sense, because it brought this thing, this something into it that I could actively become a participant and do something about my situation'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to move from reactive crisis management to proactive change. Tune in and discover how you can become an active participant in transforming your relationships and fostering long-term progress.
