You're basically taking the dance that you've always done, looking at it, keeping the pieces that work and then adding new steps or changing things completely, so that you are creating this brand new dance with your loved one, where they have a different role and you have a different role.
Picture this: you and your loved one are on a dance floor, but the steps are all wrong. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', the hosts dive into the metaphor of dancing to describe the journey of addiction recovery. They discuss how the CRAFT method can be likened to learning new dance moves—it's about understanding what works, what doesn't, and being patient with the process.
Sponsored by AlliesinRecovery.net, this episode isn't just about changing your loved one's behavior but also about transforming your own role in the dance. The hosts emphasize the importance of practicing new skills and taking a step back to observe the current dance. What parts of it are working? Which steps need to change? They suggest keeping the pieces that fit and introducing new moves to create a more harmonious dance.
This isn't a quick fix; it's a journey that requires patience and perseverance. You'll also hear about the crucial role of self-care and emotional processing in this new dance. It's not just about helping your loved one but also about ensuring you're in a good place emotionally. The hosts provide practical advice on how to manage your own feelings while supporting someone through their recovery.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on how to navigate the complex world of addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights. Whether you're a family member, friend, or someone struggling with addiction yourself, you'll find relatable advice and encouragement to keep dancing, even when the steps get tough.
