Loving an Addict with Candace Plattor

In this week’s episode of The Pain Changer, I chat with Candace Plattor, 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 Counseling and Therapy Program.As a former opioid addict with 35 years clean and sober now, 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. The results Candace achieves have been astounding: addicts stop using and families regain their lives from the ravages of addiction. Not only has her success led to a waiting list of clients but she is a sought after leader in the field of addictions. As the developer of the LoveWithBoundaries Family Addiction Counseling and Therapy method, Candace now works with her team of top counselors and coaches, helping both the families and their addicts break the devastating cycle of addiction for good. I was especially honored and excited to have Candace reach out to be on my show, as I actually took her program while I was disabled and breaking away from an addict myself. It is one I recommend if you are watching someone you love struggle with addiction.In this episode, you will learn: Candace’s incredible journey with addiction and how she recoveredHow Candace works differently than other addiction counselors in the spaceWhy boundaries are a critical part of loving someoneWhy the person loving the addict will be the one to help the addict start to healIf you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.
