Transform Your Loved One’s Struggle with Addiction
A unified approach that will revolutionize family recovery!
Introduction
As a specialist in family coaching with more than two decades under my belt, I’ve walked alongside countless families navigating the turbulent waters of Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Each journey is unique, yet all share a common thread — the deep-seated desire for a loved one’s well-being and recovery. Drawing from the profound insights of Gabor Maté, Johann Hari, Peter Levine, Dr. Jeffrey Foote, Brené Brown, and Dr. Shefali Tsabary, I want to introduce you to a concept that’s close to my heart: a unified approach to SUD outcomes. This approach isn’t just about treating the addiction; it’s about healing the individual and the collective family unit, extending that healing touch to the wider community.
Understanding the Roots of Addiction
Gabor Maté reminds us that addiction isn’t a choice; it’s often a response to pain, trauma, and disconnection. Imagine a young adult who, instead of being met with open arms and understanding, is faced with judgment and isolation. Their path to addiction often begins with a search for relief, an escape from an internal turmoil they feel powerless to resolve.
