Interventions do work when done properly, when they're not the ambush style.
Picture this: you're planning an intervention for a loved one, but instead of the usual ambush-style approach, there's a more compassionate way. In this episode of 'The Recovered Life Show', hosts Damon Frank and Shauna McKenna Vick dive into why interventions don't have to be a surprise attack. Shauna introduces the invitational style of interventions, which focuses on family healing and open communication. This method not only helps the person struggling with addiction but also supports the entire family unit.
Damon and Shauna discuss the importance of professional guidance and why addressing mental health is just as crucial as tackling substance abuse. Whether you're considering an intervention or simply curious about different approaches, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change your mind.
