Speaking Up the Compassionate Way

from Coming Up for Air — A Toolkit to Help with Your Loved One's Recovery from Addiction & Mental Illness · host Allies in Recovery

How do you communicate when you see (your Loved One's) problematic behavior? We'll show you how to pay more attention to *intention* — CRAFT guides us to observe the behavior, and point it calmly and thoughtfully and without adding your two cents/ personal interpretation. Once you have briefly and specifically told your Loved One how the behavior impacts you, you can then step back without expectation of  an outcome, and give them the dignity of processing what you've said.  Over time, this CRAFT tool can lead to long-term change.We explain how to do this, and when are the best times to communicate.
