Publisher's summary

If you are struggling with your teen’s or young adult’s substance use issues, The Compassion Antidote offers a proven framework for creating change. Catherine Taughinbaugh, certified parent coach, reveals evidence-based strategies for more-productive conversations with your child. She explains how positive reinforcement, allowing for negative consequences, setting clear boundaries, and taking care of yourself will give you the best chance that your child will be open to recovery.

You don’t have to let go and detach from your child—you can lean in and stay close. Catherine draws on proven ideas from the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach to explain the necessary steps to better communicate, with empathy and understanding. These strategies were developed by psychologists who have been studying addiction for years. This easy-to-understand guide will help parents and other family members to stay positive, and continue to help their child change. Along the way, listeners will be inspired by stories from families who have the same struggles, fears, hopes, and dreams for their young adults and teens.

Learn:

  • To take care of yourself
  • How to change the conversation
  • The power of reinforcement and consequences
  • What gets in the way of change
  • And much more

The Compassion Antidote will change the way you think about your role in family addiction. It will give you the tools and strategies you need to help your struggling young adult or teen transform their life—from being tethered to their drug or alcohol use to reaching their potential and thriving.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A compassionate approach that works!

Finally, an evidenced-based path is outlined for families to find a peaceful and confident approach to addressing substance abuse in their teen and young adult children! Whether your child seeks treatment or not, you will find the peace in the knowledge and the practices you learn through the CRAFT method. This book brought me a peace of mind that I have not felt in years.
