Embarking on a heartfelt journey through the world of addiction and recovery, Sam arrived in Houston to be inspired by Brené Brown's powerful dialogue on vulnerability and shame. With that energy, we bring you an episode that not only educates but also provides a guiding light for families navigating the intervention process. RuthAnn Rigby and Eric Button, two luminaries in the field, are names you might hear us mention as we recount the vibrant recovery landscape of Houston, and tease potential future dialogues with such esteemed colleagues.
As your guides, we lay bare the misconception that interventions are battlegrounds, and instead, illuminate them as beacons of compassion where families learn to set boundaries and strategies for enduring wellness. Imagine a roadmap that leads beyond the threshold of treatment facilities and stretches into the vast terrain of lifelong recovery. That's the vision we share with you, reinforced by insights and real-life experiences that shape our discussion on how to support not just the individual in treatment but the entire family unit on their collective journey to healing.
Finally, the episode takes a deeper look at the transformation within families as they engage with the intervention process. The atmosphere leading up to intervention day is fraught with anticipation, but we discuss how families can remain unshaken, even when facing the storms of manipulation or debate. We also reflect on the profound influence of Brené Brown's teachings, underscoring the importance of combating shame and embracing authenticity for true healing. Join us for this episode where wisdom, passion, and the pursuit of a shame-free existence converge to empower you and your loved ones on the path to recovery.
