I think one of the things that we can't go or we should draw attention to is being a good therapist, though, is able to identify when this is something... And I'm okay with that because at The End Of The Day, it's about that person and them getting help.
How do you know if you're really making progress in your addiction recovery journey? In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', host Tom Conrad sits down with Nicole Bifano, a licensed clinical social worker and assistant clinical director at Rock Recovery Center, to tackle this vital question. Nicole shares her expertise on setting measurable goals for clients, ensuring that each step taken is a step forward in their treatment process.
She dives into the importance of focusing on coping mechanisms rather than just the substance of choice, highlighting how trauma can play a significant role in addiction. Drawing from her own experiences, Nicole explains how embracing her trauma has allowed her to better serve her clients. This episode also touches on the crucial role of boundaries within family support systems and the need for personal serenity amidst the chaos of addiction.
Nicole emphasizes the importance of therapists recognizing when their own issues might interfere with their work, always prioritizing the client's needs. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help navigate the complex journey of addiction recovery.
