The goal for me in doing treatment with grievers is not to get them to a point where they're no longer thinking about the deceased, but they have an integrated idea of who the person was and how they approach this.
Grief and addiction are two profound challenges that can intertwine in complex ways. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Dan Stone, a master's level licensed clinical social worker, to explore how these issues intersect. Stone brings a wealth of experience in bereavement and addiction counseling, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches when helping clients navigate their unique grief journeys.
He sheds light on the multiple losses individuals face in early recovery, such as the loss of relationships, custody of children, and even careers. Rather than urging clients to forget their loved ones, Stone advocates for integrating memories into their lives as they move forward. He also highlights the importance of addressing grief to achieve successful recovery and discusses the role of faith in the healing process.
This episode offers valuable strategies and insights for anyone coping with loss while on the path to sobriety.
