Mastering the Art of Healthy Attachment: Dominique Simon-Levine’s Insights

Detaching is not a sweeping general, all or nothing once and done thing that you do, it is as needed right.
Ever been told to 'just detach' when dealing with a loved one’s addiction? It sounds simple, but how do you actually do it? And is detachment always the right move?

Dominique dives into the nuances of detaching and attaching in healthy ways, offering invaluable advice grounded in the CRAFT Method.
This isn't your typical one-size-fits-all guidance; it's about finding balance and understanding when to let go and when to hold on tight. With real-life examples from families navigating similar struggles, Dominique provides tailored advice as if she were right there in the room with them. Her approach emphasizes the power of encouragement and love, showing that support can be both firm and compassionate.
If you’re grappling with the challenges of a loved one’s addiction, this episode offers practical tips and heartfelt wisdom to help you find peace and strength in the midst of chaos.
