What are Wishes and Dips?
from Coming Up for Air — A Toolkit to Help with Your Loved One's Recovery from Addiction & Mental Illness · host Allies in Recovery
You've got tools -- active listening, being curious and open -- so when your loved one expresses what they would like, or feels they can't continue as they are, you're ready. In those moments of "wishes and dips," you can gently move forward, listening to them and having resources ready, for now or whenever they're ready. It's a main tenet of CRAFT -- noticing the openings. It's also a practice -- something to stay with over time, so you have a chance to be received.
