In my opinion this is by far the most important work being done in the realm of non medical support for those facing life's challenges which includes addictions. This should be stop one - not a one way ticket to to Rehab. |
What you do matters because you offer a whole-family approach. Your focus recognizes that it's not just my son who is affected, but our entire family system. This approach resonates so much because all of this stuff going on in our lives was tearing us apart, and I needed to see a way for actual healing and connection to take place, right now, not years from now.

You Can SAFE Your Loved One from Addiction
As we navigate the complex journey of supporting a loved one through addiction, it's essential to recognize that the path to healing extends beyond the individual to the heart of the family. With over two decades of experience working alongside families, I've witnessed the transformative power of what I like to call a "SAFE" approach—Support, Awareness, Flexibility, Empathy—in fostering recovery and resilience. This method, inspired by the collective wisdom of thought leaders like Gabor Maté, Johann Hari, Peter Levine, Dr. Jeffrey Foote, Brené Brown, and Shefali Tsabary, emphasizes the crucial role of the family dynamic in the healing process.
The Essence of the SAFE Coaching Approach
The Essence of the SAFE Coaching Approach
- Support: The Healing Power of Connection
Support isn't just about being there; it's about understanding the emotional landscape your child navigates. A family's support can light the way through the darkest times of addiction, offering a beacon of hope and a reminder of love's unwavering presence. - Awareness: Uncovering the Roots
Awareness in the family context means looking beyond the surface. It's about recognizing the unmet emotional needs and the pain that often underlies addictive behaviors. This insight encourages families to see the person behind the addiction, understanding their struggles within the broader context of their emotional world. - Flexibility: Adapting to Change
Flexibility in Coaching means staying open to new approaches, understanding that the path to recovery is not linear but a journey of twists and turns. It's about adapting your support as your child's needs evolve, showing them that their family's love and understanding are constants in a changing world.
- Empathy: The Foundation of Understanding
Empathy, involves connecting with the emotion another person is experiencing without trying to change it or make it go away. It's about listening with an open heart and validating your child's feelings without judgment. This empathy creates a safe space for your child to express their vulnerabilities and challenges, fostering a deeper connection and understanding within the family.
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
