Cynthia Hoffman on Compassionate Harm Reduction Therapy

We needed to feel less shame and okay about who we were, and that maybe we had some behavior that we could change, but who we were generally we needed to feel good about.
What if there was a way to approach substance abuse treatment that focused on compassion rather than punishment? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Cynthia Hoffman, MFT, a seasoned therapist who specializes in harm reduction therapy groups in San Francisco. Hoffman shares her wealth of knowledge on how these therapy groups can effectively treat substance abuse by using evidence-based approaches and educating individuals on the stages of change.
Whether you’re in a high-conflict relationship, navigating polyamory, or dealing with trauma, Hoffman’s insights are invaluable. She explains how the HAMS program and trauma-informed care can help reduce shame and foster self-acceptance. Hoffman also challenges the conventional 'tough love' approach, highlighting its potential to re-traumatize rather than heal. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in a compassionate, evidence-based path to recovery.
