My friend and colleague Kristin Horstman is a certified Gray Area Drinking Coach with a specialty in helping clients learn how to nourish their nervous system.

We also touch on:

• Perfectionism
• Polyvagal Theory
• Focusing on the body brings us into the present
• Focusing on our thoughts leads us to the past or future
• How to recognize when we are regulated or deregulated

Kristin also has a passion for a non-profit organization, CMC, Foundation For Change. This organization helps support family members whose loved ones are dealing with substance use. She shares the philosophy of the CMS which is based on science and kindness. My favorite part is that CMC goes beyond offering support and actually teaches skills to help one feel empowered to care for their loved one. This program can help families let go of the outdated 'tough love' method and lead with connections.
