If all you're doing is noticing the negative, you're doing this wrong.
Parenting a child struggling with addiction is a heart-wrenching journey, but Cathy Taughinbaugh offers a guiding light in this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast. Host Clint Mally invites Cathy to share her expertise on the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach, a method designed to support families navigating the stormy waters of addiction. Cathy, who has walked this path herself, brings a mix of professional knowledge and personal experience to the table.
She discusses the power of positive reinforcement, highlighting how small rewards can encourage healthier behaviors. Cathy also underscores the importance of self-care for parents. It's easy to lose yourself while trying to save someone else, and she offers practical tips to maintain your own well-being. Another key point Cathy emphasizes is the value of noticing and truly listening to the addicted individual. This isn't just about hearing words; it's about understanding their struggles and emotions.
By focusing on these elements, Cathy believes families can foster a more supportive and effective environment for recovery. Whether you're a parent in the thick of it or someone supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt encouragement. Clint and Cathy’s conversation is a beacon of hope, offering tools and insights that can make a real difference.
