When someone gets clean and sober, they come in the family. In order to do that, everyone's got to play their part, and everyone's important, and there are no bench warmers on the family home team
What if your family could be your greatest ally in the fight against addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu sits down with Parham Nematollah, a seasoned counselor with a master's degree in marriage and family therapy. Together, they unpack the crucial role that family support plays in addiction recovery.
Parham, who has over a decade of experience in mental health and addiction treatment, shares his own journey and insights on how involving family can significantly boost the chances of successful recovery. The episode covers a wide range of topics, from family systems therapy to building what Parham calls a 'home team'. The idea is to treat each family member as an essential player in the recovery process.
They discuss how to set healthy boundaries, avoid enabling behaviors, and celebrate small victories along the way. Parham emphasizes that everyone has a role to play, and no one should be left on the sidelines. But it’s not just about talking theory. Parham brings real-life examples from his work with student-athletes, showing how mental wellness strategies on the basketball court can translate into everyday life. He believes that just like in sports, practice makes perfect in recovery too.
The more you engage and involve your family, the stronger your 'team' becomes. If you're looking for practical advice on how to get your family involved in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a fresh perspective on how to turn your struggles into strengths with the support of those closest to you.
