The craft model, really one of the fundamental paradigm shifts for me, is that you wind up working so hard on yourself that there's this energy change with the other person, because also you can't do what we're asking if you're not focused on yourself.
Ever feel like the journey to change is too overwhelming? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Dominique Simone-Lavigne, Laurie McDougall, and Kayla Solomon share their wisdom on making manageable changes for families dealing with addiction. They emphasize that progress doesn't need to be a giant leap; sometimes, it's about those tiny, consistent steps that add up over time.
By focusing on what isn't working and making small adjustments, families can create a more supportive environment for their loved ones. The conversation also delves into the Craft model, which encourages individuals to prioritize their own well-being. This self-care not only helps them but also shifts the family dynamic in a positive way. Real-time engagement and evaluation are key themes, helping families understand what strategies are effective.
The hosts also touch on Narcan, a life-saving drug for opiate overdoses, discussing its role without pushing any particular stance. This episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement, reminding listeners that change is a gradual process, and every small step counts. Tune in for a compassionate and insightful discussion that offers a realistic roadmap for making progress.
