Ep 13: Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: An Empowering Conversation with Candace Platter
In this episode, we have a very special guest joining us: Candace Plattor, a registered Clinical Counselor with years of experience in helping families and loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction.
Candace, a former opioid addict with an inspiring 36 years of sobriety, understands firsthand the complexities of addiction and its profound impact on families. Through her private practice, she has developed a unique and highly effective family addiction counseling and therapy program designed specifically to support those who love someone battling addiction.
In this engaging conversation, Candace will share her expertise, shedding light on the family dynamics influenced by addiction and the vital role of setting boundaries. You'll discover how unconditional love can coexist with firm boundaries, enabling both the addict and their loved ones to heal and grow.
Join us as Candace dives deep into the importance of self-empowerment for family members, teaching us how to navigate the challenges of loving an addict while prioritizing our well-being. She'll offer practical strategies, insights, and real-life examples to guide you on this transformative journey.
Whether you're a family member, spouse, or a friend of someone struggling with addiction, this episode provides invaluable tools to support your loved one while maintaining healthy boundaries. Remember, recovery is a family condition, and everyone involved deserves healing and a chance at a brighter future.
Because this is a Catholic podcast, Candace wanted to make it known that while she is a non-Christian, she is very spiritual - but please note that none of that is discussed in this episode.
I am SO grateful to Candace for sharing her experience, strength, and hope and for her work with families plagued by addiction.
