Interventionist trained in family systems, certified family recovery coach, peer recovery coach, and founder of Thrive Family Recovery Resources. Passionate about helping families deal with difficult or resistant loved ones, while staying healthy themselves.
Pam covers A LOT in this compelling conversation. She shares her own family's tragic journey with substance use disorder, and how she discovered that even when we think we're doing all the "right" things, we still find ourselves in situations beyond our control.
Just a few of the topics we covered include:
- How Pam helps people through her Thrive Family Recovery support groups and workshops.
- Tools that teach us how to respond (meaningfully) instead of react (emotionally).
- How we need to shift our belief that the substance is the problem (for our loved one it's actually the solution).
- Why it's important for us to change the stigmatizing language we've been culturally conditioned to use when we're talking about addiction.
- The dangers of "terminal uniqueness"
