ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Parents who are baffled and frustrated by the amount of negativity in their home and resulting lack of motivation in their kids with substance use issues will get some simple, useable takeaways from this bite-sized episode.
Sometimes you just need a quick visual to help grasp and deal with a situation and that's what we'll talk about on this show. There's a companion PDF/image in the show notes (no email required!) that will be helpful to grab when listening - or afterward - to keep with you when things get hard.
I share three formulas you can remember as you work your way through difficult days and experiences with a son or daughter who's misusing drugs or alcohol. It's the perfect episode for a quick dog walk, errand running or when you want to grab a cup of coffee and get your mind off work for 18 minutes!
