Saving You First: Self-Preservation, Go-To CRAFT Strategies and Taming Fear When Your Child Struggles With Addiction and Mental Health, with Brenda Zane
EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
In this episode, I offer what might feel like slightly brutal truths if you're parenting a young person who struggles with substances and mental health challenges. I emphasize the importance of self-preservation for parents, noting that while you cannot force lasting change in your child or children, you can create the best conditions to foster it.
I discuss the "self-preservation continuum" - the balance between being fully (overly) involved in your child's recovery and maintaining personal health and sanity. I also provide practical tools you can focus on when you have no idea what to do, and highlight the destructive impact of fear when it dominates.
EPISODE RESOURCES:
Hopestream episode 8: Don’t Let Your Child’s Addiction Kill Your Dreams and Passions
Hopestream episode 58: Four Counterintuitive Things To Do When You’re Overwhelmed By Your Child’s Substance Use or Emotional Challenges
