What emotional and inspiring tales of recovery are out there? Linda Aber's journey is a testament to the resilience and love that families can offer in the face of addiction. As an Attachment Parent Coach and a proud adoptive mother, Linda shares her experiences raising two children from Russian orphanages, both of whom faced immense challenges. From dealing with ADHD and autism to navigating the complexities of bipolar disorder, Linda's story is filled with trials and triumphs.
Her insights into the parasympathetic nervous system and the CRAFT method provide valuable tools for families struggling with addiction. Linda's narrative is more than just a personal account; it's a beacon of hope for parents who feel overwhelmed by their children's behavioural issues. She emphasises the importance of connection over correction, advocating for a shift in focus from negative behaviour to positive reinforcement.
Her candid discussions about trauma and its intergenerational effects remind us that healing is possible, but it requires understanding and compassion. Linda's approach to parenting and addiction recovery is grounded in the belief that self-care is crucial. Parents must prioritise their own mental and physical health to be effective allies for their children. With humour and heart, Linda encourages families to embrace their vulnerabilities and transform them into strengths.
If you're curious about how families can support each other through addiction, Linda Aber's story offers practical advice and heartfelt wisdom. It's a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Are you ready to explore new ways to connect with your loved ones?
