My goal is to teach and coach family members and friends the ability to change how they're living their life and to have more peace, and to learn to tell the truth with love, no judgment, no criticism, and with the best chance of opening up your loved one's mind, to consider change in a positive way.
Picture this: You're navigating the rough seas of a loved one's addiction, feeling lost and overwhelmed. In this episode of 'Courage to Hope', host Tony Lagreca sits down with Colleen Bertolino, a certified BALM coach, who has been through it all. Inspired by her own son's battle with addiction, Colleen has dedicated her life to helping families find hope and healing. She shares her journey and the transformative power of the BALM family recovery method.
This approach equips families with the tools they need to understand their loved one's struggles and communicate effectively without judgment. Colleen emphasizes education and personal growth as key components in breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. She also touches on the individualized nature of interventions and the alarming dangers of new drugs like fentanyl. If you're looking for practical advice and heartfelt stories to guide you through the storm, this conversation is a must-listen.
