Podcasts about substance use disorders

When Lisa Smith's family was gripped by the terror of her son's addiction, they felt like mere spectators to a relentless storm. But through her groundbreaking concept of parallel recovery, they began to reclaim their roles as active participants in the healing process. In this compelling episode, we sit down with Lisa, a TEDx speaker and author, who shares her family's transformative journey. She illuminates how families can support their loved ones suffering from addiction and mental health challenges by first addressing their own fears and recovery needs. Her insights shed light on addiction as a family disease and underscore the importance of structured recovery to create a more supportive environment.Our conversation with Lisa also navigates the vital principles of radical acceptance and compassionate boundaries in the recovery journey. She delves into the layered challenges families face, including confronting generational trauma and the systemic issues making family recovery services less accessible. We explore how stepping back from fear-driven responses can foster healthier interactions, and how setting boundaries, rather than being acts of harshness, can be deeply compassionate. Lisa's message is clear: when families engage in recovery, they not only aid their loved ones but enrich their own lives and relationships, crafting a nurturing space for healing amidst adversity.In this episode, you will hear:The concept of parallel recovery and its impact on family dynamics in addictionLisa Smith's personal journey with her son's addiction and mental health challengesImportance of addressing addiction as a family disease and involving families in the recovery processExploration of radical acceptance and compassionate boundaries in healingChallenges families face, including generational trauma and systemic barriers to recovery servicesFollow and Review:We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
