We want the parents to be on the ground while the kids go on the roller coaster. And I think there's a level of acceptance there that parents really need to embrace. That I think, and letting go of that control, we have to let go of control and embrace some acceptance that kids are going to make mistakes and that's actually an awesome opportunity to learn and to grow.
Ever wondered how family therapy can change the lives of teens and young adults battling addiction and mental health issues? In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, host Clint Mally sits down with Ryanne Bright and Dana Slowinski, two seasoned experts in adolescent family therapy, to unpack the transformative power of family involvement in recovery. Ryanne and Dana kick things off by highlighting the crucial role parents play in their child's healing journey.
They discuss the Family Recovery Centers' intensive outpatient program, which includes comprehensive support for parents to better understand and assist their children. One of the standout features of Sandstone Care's approach is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Ryanne and Dana delve into how DBT equips teens with essential skills to manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and solve problems. The conversation also touches on creating a supportive environment that helps teens feel less isolated and more connected.
Multifamily groups emerge as a key component of the therapy process. These groups offer parents a chance to connect with others facing similar challenges, fostering a sense of community and shared understanding. Ryanne and Dana emphasize that realizing you're not alone can be incredibly empowering for families. Acceptance and letting go of control are recurring themes in the discussion. The experts stress that allowing teens to make mistakes and learn from them is vital for their growth and recovery.
Ryanne shares her personal story of using DBT skills daily to maintain her sobriety for over five years, adding a layer of authenticity to the conversation. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone involved in the recovery process, whether you're a parent, a professional, or someone on their own healing journey. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how family therapy can be a game-changer for teens and young adults.
