In Candace's words:
"When there is addiction in a family, everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. There are a lot of resources available for addicts, but there is very little skilled support for the people who love them, so most families have no idea about what to do to make this horrific situation better. Enabling behaviors from family members and other loved ones keep an addict stuck in their addiction while helping behaviors assist them to become ready for recovery. When we choose to help instead of enabling, the devastating cycle of addiction can be stopped in its tracks."
Candace Plattor is an Addictions Therapist in private practice, where she specializes in working with the family and other loved ones of people who are struggling with addiction, in her unique and signature Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy Program. As a former opioid addict with almost 35 years clean and sober, Candace has learned that overcoming addiction is a family condition: everyone in the family is affected by addiction and everyone needs to heal. For more than three decades, she has been helping both addicts and their loved ones understand their dysfunctional behaviors and make healthier life choices.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. You cannot control or “fix” another person, so stop trying!
2. Learn the difference between Helping and Enabling
3. Know that “Self-Care” does not equal “Selfish”
