Stigma is a story someone makes up about a situation. CRAFT provides a framework, and helps you take the story apart and change it, consciously addressing situations and moving forward with eyes open. Stigma takes power away, but making conscious choices brings your power back.
Ever felt the sting of judgment when dealing with a loved one's addiction? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' tackles the often-overlooked issue of stigma head-on. Hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater explore how harmful narratives around addiction can trap families in cycles of shame and blame, making it harder to seek help and find healing. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Through the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach, they share practical strategies for rewriting these damaging stories and reclaiming power. From compassionate listening to dismantling negative stereotypes, this episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt stories. Whether you're a family member, friend, or someone on their own recovery journey, you'll find valuable insights on how to create a more supportive and understanding environment. Tune in and discover how changing the story can change lives.
