Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You can't force addiction recovery—but you can create the conditions for it (with Pam Lanhart)
Q: What would your message be to the family member who feels completely alone in this right now?
Pam suggests recognizing that one is not alone, seeking support from people who share the same approach, and using structure like Craft or ITC to work with the whole family, even when others are not fully on board.
Grieving the mother I never had: Alcohol, abuse, and recovery (with Marci Hopkins)
Q: Could you tell us more about your early story and what happened in your childhood?
Marci describes a childhood marked by trauma, abandonment, and normalization of drinking, leading to coping mechanisms that shaped her relationships and sense of self.
Why am I still waiting for the other shoe to drop? Anxiety after a sibling gets sober
Q: What does it mean when chaos becomes normal in a family dealing with substance use, and how might it show up?
Chaos becomes normal when boundaries blur and the emotional needs of multiple family members become intertwined. It shows up as constant vigilance, people taking on caretaker roles, and a survival-focused dynamic where individual needs are sidelined in the name of managing a relative's addiction.
The glass child: Learning to live for you (with Alicia Meneses Maples)
Q: What messages should parents understand about supporting Glass Children?
Parents should avoid overloading children with emotional burdens, validate children's experiences, and pursue professional help for their own trauma; adults should communicate openly but with care to prevent re-traumatization when discussing past hurts.
The glass child: Learning to live for you (with Alicia Meneses Maples)
Q: How did these experiences shape Alicia's adult relationships and coping strategies?
These experiences led Alicia to develop strong people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty recognizing and expressing her own emotions (alexithymia), and a pattern of prioritizing others' needs over her own, which she works to overcome through therapy and boundary-setting.
