| 6/17/22 |  Conditional Love, Unconditional Love, and Shame: Part 2 -- The Antidote | Let's look at shame and negative thinking and discuss how to slow down, gain awareness, and soothe your system. Our hosts focus on the essential tool of empathy -- especially for yourself -- as a way to understand what story you’re making up, and change that story by looking for the positive even in difficult moments. | — | ||||||
| 6/10/22 |  When Do You Work on Use of Less-Dangerous Substances? | Dominique shares a family’s question about a loved one who’s addressed the most pressing substance use. Should the family now focus on their loved one’s cannabis use? Our hosts discuss harm reduction and the role of the “functional analysis” in CRAFT to address such questions. The analysis involves reviewing what’s changed, patterns and dynamics, and making sure your own behaviors support reduction of use. These actions are subtle, and their subtlety makes them more effective. Even with multiple substances, they recommend addressing one at a time. The functional analysis should keep happening with different drugs, so that you know which behaviors to reward and which to walk away from. The Allies site includes cannabis resources discussing withdrawal and tolerance, and the more-concentrated form of use called “dabbing. | — | ||||||
| 6/3/22 |  Conditional Love, Unconditional Love, and Shame: Part 1 | Even when love is not conditional, there sometimes must be conditions regarding people’s behavior. Love in romantic relationships may change if you break up, but with family members, conditionality applies to behavior, not love. What we as family members can modify is how we react and our expectations. Conditionality goes back to boundary issues – there are edges someone comes to where they must stop what they’re doing. It’s important to note that wishing someone would go away is a normal, protective reaction to difficult feelings. | — | ||||||
| 5/27/22 |  Facing Obstacles Part 2: How to Not React in Tough Moments | What do you do in those difficult moments when you feel ramped-up? Laurie and Kayla discuss strategies to back away and not go with the emotion of the moment. | — | ||||||
| 5/20/22 |  Facing the Obstacles, Part 1 | What are the obstacles between knowing what to do and putting that knowledge into real practice? In part 1, our hosts focus on avoiding a "crisis" response, and slowing events down to avoid being reactive. | — | ||||||

| 4/15/22 |  CRAFT and Decision-making: A Listener Weighs In | Dominique tells the story of a dad who sees his son's truck at a saloon. Not wanting the son to drive home intoxicated, dad uses an extra key to drive the truck home, parking it a block away. The son returns home intoxicated, ranting about his "stolen truck." Dad stays silent while the son calls the police. They arrive and the intoxicated son rages. Dad tells police (but not the son) where the truck is. A listener says this whole scenario about dad parking truck away seems passive-aggressive, and asks what purpose was served. Was an enraged son the ultimate goal, so the police would arrest him? Why did the father take no steps to alleviate his son's anxiety and anger? Wouldn't the CRAFT method say that when the son came home, he should see the truck in the driveway and get a brief explanation from dad on why it was there? Wouldn't the next day, when the son was sober and both parties more calm, be the time to discuss? | — | ||||||
| 4/8/22 |  Treatment and Families: part 2 | A continued discussion of families and treatment. Part one examined how the family can affect treatment and vice-versa. Part two looks at the overall idea: taking care of yourself and observing your own boundaries, while asking how you might best add to treatment. | — | ||||||
| 4/1/22 |  Treatment and Families: Part 1 | Laurie, Dominique, and Kayla discuss ideas about families and treatment, focusing particularly on how the family can affect treatment -- and vice-versa -- in part one of this two-part episode. | — | ||||||
| 3/25/22 |  CRAFT in Romantic Partnerships, part 2 | A continued discussion of the CRAFT model in romantic relationships. In part 2, our hosts talk about practicing and using the tools of CRAFT in difficult moments to address not you loved one's substance use, but the relationship-affecting behavior that happens with substance use. | — | ||||||
| 3/18/22 |  CRAFT in Romantic Partnerships, part 1 | How does the CRAFT model work in romantic relationships? In part one, our hosts say our job as loved ones is to get our own needs met. First, we must figure out those needs and what we can do to meet them, then ask for help from our loved ones in specific, measurable ways. | — | ||||||
| 3/14/22 |  Don't Take It Personally | What are the challenges of releasing yourself from feeling responsible for your loved one's behavior, as their parent or family member? This involves recognizing yourself as your own person, and allowing them the respect and dignity of having their own process. | — | ||||||
| 3/4/22 |  Redefining Recovery | Our hosts discuss the individual nature of the term "recovery." They look at recovery as an evolution involving growth, change, finding meaning, and finding ease. They say the best plan is to respect people's processes, plant seeds when you can, and stay interested in how your loved one defines the process for themselves. | — | ||||||
| 2/25/22 |  CRAFT as the Beginning of Treatment | A look at CRAFT as the beginning of treatment – as connection, openness, curiosity, and modeling change. Our hosts advocate focusing not on what your loved one does, but on case management, on researching available options to present when the time is right. That leaves you free to work on changing the dynamic and going for connection. | — | ||||||
