Talking Points Addressing a viewers letter Boundaries during a relapse Loving somebody in recovery CRAFT definition and examples Trauma is an “exposed” raw nerve Importance of a recovery community Setting appropriate boundaries in a calm mind Quotes “There is not one person, and I want to be very clear with this, just having a lot of personal and professional experience. There is not one person beating themselves up worse than the person that is out there engaged in this maladaptivity, unfortunately. So I think the more compassion, the more assertive we can be with our values and boundaries with love; I think the person who is suffering can see clearly that they are valued and loved.” – Chris Burns – President and Founder Episode Transcripts Episode 83 Transcripts
