Are you the parent of an adult child who's struggling with substance use or other addictive patterns of behavior?

Over the years, you've undoubtedly tried everything…ranging from tough love to protecting them from painful consequences.

You'd throw yourself under a train if that would actually help, but you know it won't.

Yet their pain is your pain. And the reality is that you need them to be okay so that you can be okay. And that needy, codependent energy only makes things worse.

You need to get your own emotions under control so that you don't resort to begging, bargaining, bribing or shaming them into change. Because if those strategies worked, everything would be perfect.

In this episode, I lay out the core tenets of coaching so that you can have a conversation with your child that actually helps.
