I don't think we can change anybody else, but what we can do is we can change ourselves and we can change what we're doing.
Ever wondered if there's more than one way to support a loved one struggling with addiction? Katherine Arati Maas dives into this question with Candace Plattor, a Registered Clinical Counselor, in this episode of 'Coming Clean Radio'. Candace brings her expertise and personal experiences to the table, offering a fresh perspective on recovery that goes beyond the traditional 12-step approach.
She discusses her book, 'Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone with an Addiction', which serves as a guide for those navigating the challenging waters of loving an addict. The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough topics like codependency and enabling behaviors. Candace emphasizes the importance of self-care and finding balance, highlighting that while you can't change someone else's behavior, you can change your own.
She also talks about her family treatment program, which focuses on healing the entire family unit, recognizing that addiction affects everyone involved. If you're looking for alternative recovery options or ways to better support yourself and your loved ones, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
