When a loved one is in crisis, families naturally feel overwhelmed. The focus usually goes entirely to the person who is struggling with addiction or mental health. However, real change happens when every voice is part of the plan. At The Recovery Coach NY, Cindy Feinberg uses Systemic Family Integration to look at the "big picture" of your family’s health.

Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based communication style that helps people resolve "ambivalence"—that feeling of being stuck between wanting to change and wanting to stay the same.

Living with a loved one who refuses to get help for addiction or mental health is exhausting. You spend your nights worrying and your days arguing. You might feel like you are walking on eggshells. Most families think they have only two choices. They can either keep nagging or they can give up and walk away.

When a loved one struggles with addiction or mental health, it feels like your world is falling apart. You want to help, but every conversation turns into a fight. You might have heard that you need to use "tough love" or wait for them to hit "rock bottom." But for many families, waiting for rock bottom feels way too dangerous.
