Wynne Stallings: Healing Families in the Journey to Recovery

I'm a firm believer that if the family doesn't get help or that addict himself doesn't remove himself from the family and stay away from the family, there's a good chance they're going to relapse.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies not just within the individual but within the entire family? In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', hosts Jersey Ed and Buckeye Bambi welcome Wynne Stallings, a seasoned psychotherapist and Certified Addictions Professional, to explore this compelling idea. With two decades of experience under her belt, Wynne has seen firsthand how family dynamics can either hinder or help the recovery process.
She delves into the nitty-gritty of codependency, emotional stability, and the behavioral choices that stem from unhealthy relationships. Wynne's approach isn't just about treating the individual; it's about mending the family unit as a whole. She shares how techniques like psychodrama—using improv for therapeutic purposes—can bring about profound changes in both individuals and groups. Throughout the episode, Wynne emphasizes the importance of family counseling and professional therapy in tackling addiction.
Her insights are not just informative; they offer a fresh perspective on how to support loved ones through their recovery journey. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable takeaways on building a healthier, happier life together.
