Ep23 How To Help A Mom Help Her Daughter Battling Addiction
Send us a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/651718/open_sms)
Are you a parent worried about whether or not you’ll see your daughter alive again due to her addiction?
This episode will show you two very different versions of what it's like when you ask a professional for help for your loved one with addiction. First, you will learn what the addiction treatment industry will say you must do. Without knowing a thing about your daughter. You’ll experience the impact of the judgment and blame the industry greets you with when asking for help.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You'll then see another more practical approach, the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach. CRAFT embraces the fact that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.
You’ll learn how it feels to be welcomed with the CRAFT Approach, which relies upon:
• Understanding and Kindness: Responding with empathy to the underlying addiction issues.
• Unconditional Love: Providing consistent support to help your daughter feel loved.
• Active Involvement: Engaging actively in the recovery process, learning effective communication, motivation, and boundary-setting techniques.
You MUST keep looking until you find support that gives you hope, optimism, and progress.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those we love. You can do this!

Ep22 How To Take Your Power Back When A Loved One Struggles With Addiction
Are you feeling paralyzed, frustrated, and hopeless due to a loved one's addiction? Patrick Doyle and Laurie MacDougall discuss the REST (Resources, Education, Support, Together) groups, a free program where families experience transformative recovery. Families use REST to find new strategies and skills to communicate with their loved ones. They also address the misconception of enabling and the importance of timing and setting boundaries. Through the power of community, families let go of guilt and shame and gain healthy self-compassion.
Key Takeaways:
Families often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and hopeless, but REST offers new skills and strategies to create positive change.
Through REST families improve communication skills to create a safe and understanding environment.
Setting boundaries and timing are crucial when addressing addiction-related issues with a loved one.
Families start their transformative recovery with the support of the REST community.
