  2. CLASSICS REVISITED: How Do You Negotiate When Your Loved One is Coming Home?

    CLASSICS REVISITED: How Do You Negotiate When Your Loved One is Coming Home?

    When your Loved One is coming home, it's time to collaborate and negotiate about expectations and plans. It's important to hear what consequences they suggest for certain actions or inaction, and to keep communicating openly over time.  This is a ripe moment to have a talk about the various possibilities and what might occur in the near future. This is a perfect timeto use the leverage you have (they want to come home, they are not currently using substances). The CRAFT model that we teach at alliesinrecovery.net is a therapeutic process that teaches us how to be in relationship. Shift your Loved One's trajectory with substances and recovery by shifting your own patterns. The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.

    CLASSICS REVISITED: How Do You Deal with Unknowns and Limited Contact?

    If you're forced to have limited contact, it can be hard to handle the unknown. It's important to learn how to be in contact in simple ways, and to calm your system down to respond well and strengthen the connection. Use humor; find ways to connect with who they are and what they like—reminding them of who they are becomes a bridge and connection. If you’re worried, learn how to communicate simply, without accusation or judgement. The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.

  6. CLASSICS REVISITED: Intention vs. Perception

    10 OCT.

    CLASSICS REVISITED: Intention vs. Perception

    We intend to be supportive and helpful and keep our Loved Ones safe. But our words aren’t always perceived that way. It’s important to become more aware of how we’re coming across, and to gain the tools to soften the message, hear when they feel upset, and shift things so that we can go back into connection. The result is building the relationship so things can come out more clearly, and the person can more readily receive our words if they choose to. The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.

    CLASSICS REVISITED: Rupture & Repair

    Presume you’ll have moments in a relationship that feel like gigantic rifts, or like uncomfortable separation and disconnect. That’s not a problem, but an opportunity to show that you’re changing and working on your part. Take full responsibility for your part, whether they do or not. Keep doing it over and over, so you become a safe person—the person who’s there when they decide they’re ready for more help.
