Making Sense of Behaviors: Motivating Change in Addiction

We don't have to accept any form of abuse. So I really had to put boundaries and know my limits in this. Judgment limits our scope of understanding and does not allow us to see the whole picture, but it narrows our lens of view of what the truth actually is.
Ever wondered why your loved one with an addiction behaves the way they do? In this episode, Brittany Jackson unpacks the complexities behind these behaviors and offers practical tools to inspire change. Understanding is key, and Brittany dives into how grasping the 'why' can shift your loved one's motivation towards recovery. She also emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-care for those supporting someone with a substance use disorder.
It's not just about helping them; it's about taking care of yourself too. Brittany highlights that substance use isn't black and white—every behavior has a reason, unique to each individual. By focusing on science-backed methods like CRAFT and motivational interviewing, she provides a roadmap to foster positive change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand and support their loved one better, while also nurturing their own well-being.
