Prodependence: Transforming How We Support Loved Ones in Recovery

Part of a paradigm shift has to do with changing the conversation.
What if everything you thought you knew about supporting a loved one through addiction was turned on its head? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott sits down with Dr. Rob Weiss, Chief Clinical Officer at 'Seeking Integrity,' to discuss a groundbreaking shift from codependency to prodependence. Dr. Weiss argues that the old views on codependency are not just outdated but can be harmful.
Instead, he introduces 'prodependence,' a model that emphasizes the importance of positively supporting those who love someone struggling with addiction. This approach aims to empower and uplift rather than blame or shame. Adding a touch of Hollywood to the conversation, actress Ali McGraw opens up about her own journey of seeking approval from others. Her reflections add a personal and relatable layer to the discussion, highlighting the universal struggle for validation and self-worth. Dr.
Weiss also dives into the significance of individualized treatment plans and the powerful role language plays in the recovery process. His insights offer a hopeful look at the future of addiction treatment, focusing on compassion and tailored care. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about new approaches to addiction treatment, this episode promises to offer fresh perspectives and valuable takeaways.
