When I'm doing an intervention, I always, before I do them, I interview all the potential participants individually. But then I want to learn what is your relationship? I'd say of it is helping the family and also over time, because we know it takes Days to change a behavior that's evidence-based.
Ever wondered what really goes into a successful intervention? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos brings together four seasoned interventionists—Louise Stanger, Sara Counes, Phil Plant, and Arthur Westinghouse—for a candid roundtable discussion. They dive into the nuts and bolts of interventions, sharing what works, what doesn't, and how to navigate the tricky dynamics involved. Louise Stanger kicks things off by explaining her unique approach.
She emphasizes the importance of understanding each participant's relationship with the person needing help, making the process both evidence-based and adaptable. The conversation then shifts to the challenges interventionists face. Phil Plant and Sara Counes highlight the need to treat the entire family system, noting how generational patterns often repeat themselves. Arthur Westinghouse shares his journey from recovery to becoming an interventionist, shedding light on the 'blind spots' families often have.
The discussion isn't just about problems; it's also about solutions. Louise Stanger talks about boosting self-worth for long-term recovery, while Phil Plant discusses the critical role parents play during their children's transition to adulthood. The episode wraps up with a focus on the power of knowledge-sharing. Louise Stanger reflects on her gratitude for positively impacting many families and stresses that her ultimate goal is for these families to surpass her achievements.
