The job is much harder to strategically conduct an effective intervention if the family is still deep in their enabling of the individual, if they haven't really started understanding that what they're dealing with here is a disease.
Imagine you're trying to help someone you love break free from the grip of addiction, but they just won't admit there's a problem. This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast features John Walsh, co-founder of the Morton Center, who dives into the art and science of interventions. John’s years of experience shed light on why people often deny their addictions and how families can play a pivotal role in turning things around.
He discusses the evolution of addiction over the past four decades, highlighting changes in substances and treatment methods. But what really stands out are his insights into planning and executing a successful intervention. John breaks down the steps needed, from addressing denial to handling unexpected reactions like aggression or refusal to go to treatment. He emphasizes the importance of a compassionate approach, where addicts feel cared for rather than criticized.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to support a loved one struggling with addiction, offering practical advice and a deeper understanding of the intervention process.
