Defeat Addiction with Science & Kindness - with Carrie Wilkens, PhD & Patricia Falco Beccalli
Description
Together with Carrie Wilkens, PhD – Co-founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Motivation & Change (CMC) we discuss her latest co-authored book: The Beyond Addiction Workbook for Family & Friends. This is a pivotal guide for those people who find themselves with a beloved family member or friend that is dependent on substances such as alcohol, nicotine, opioids and/or other drugs. Carrie and colleagues take a different approach to the conventional: ‘just stop your damn addiction and all will be good again’ approach. INVITATION TO CHANGE (ITC) combines science and kindness to help people change, brushing off conventional stigmatization and acknowledging SHAME as a big obstacle to collaborative communication. Compassion, collaboration, and the best science are proven keys to recovery and healing.
