The key is intention: observing behavior, and pointing it out calmly and thoughtfully. The idea is to briefly and specifically tell your loved one how the behavior impacts you, then step back without expectation of an outcome, and give them the dignity of processing what you've said.
Ever found yourself struggling to communicate with a loved one battling addiction? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Dominique Simone-Lavigne, Laurie Mcdougall, and Kayla Solomon tackle the delicate art of non-confrontational communication. They dive into the importance of observing behavior and addressing it calmly and thoughtfully. The key is to share how their actions impact you without expecting immediate change, allowing them the dignity to process what you've said.
This episode highlights the CRAFT method, which focuses on compassionate communication and setting boundaries for safety. Over time, this approach can foster long-term positive change. Whether you're a family member or friend, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt guidance on navigating these challenging conversations.
