How Parents Can Create Conditions For Change Using Compassion and Self-Care When A Child is Misusing Drugs or Alcohol, With Dina Cannizzaro

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
It’s tough to come to terms with how little control we have over whether our kids choose substances or healing and recovery. In this episode, you’ll get to hear from Dina Cannizzaro. She’s a mom who has been through hell and back but has channeled all that fear and anxiety into actionable steps toward relearning how to connect with her son and harness the surprising power of self-care.

Hear how far she and her son Parker have come now that he’s been in active recovery for six years. You’ll also hear how she had to repair relationships she let suffer (including her other children) as she became all-consumed in her fear and efforts to support her son.

You’ll be thrilled to know she will also be your guide through the Beyond Addiction Study Group, so be sure to sign up for that ASAP, as it starts November 7!

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Why Dina chose to push through her crippling fear of rock climbing
  • How she invested in the relationship with her son even when he wasn’t ready to be in contact
  • What anticipatory grief is and how it showed up in Dina’s life
  • What helped Dina realize she was just as sick as Parker but without the influence of substances
  • Why she won’t stop sharing her story with anyone who will listen
