So my message here is if you are using the invitation to change approach and your child isn't seeming to change, for example, they're still drinking and or using substances in a harmful way, it is not necessarily that you're doing it wrong.
Parenting a child grappling with substance misuse is no walk in the park. Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', pulls back the curtain on the real challenges parents face when using the Invitation to Change Approach (ITC). In this candid solo episode, Brenda shares the highs and lows she's observed from her unique vantage point, helping parents navigate this rocky terrain. She doesn't sugarcoat it—while ITC can be incredibly effective, it's not a cure-all.
Expect some raw talk about the frustrations and lesser-discussed hurdles you might encounter. But don't worry, Brenda also throws in a much-needed pep talk to keep you going. If you're feeling a bit deflated or overwhelmed, this episode is a must-listen. Brenda's insights into self-care, effective communication, and maintaining consistency could be the lifeline you need right now.
