Navigating Grief: Addiction, Loss & Revival

This episode will discuss the effects that addiction within a family can have lasting effects on everyone involved. Through sharing her story of loving and losing her mother to addiction, Melissa will touch on the benefits of opening up and breaking the stigma of talking about addiction. You will also get a brief overview of cognitive distortions and the risks when sucked into all or nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and “I should” statements. This episode will also touch on specific ways we can combat these cognitive distortions in order to reframe our experiences and cope with struggles in healthier ways.
