CLASSICS REVISITED: Speaking Up the Compassionate Way
<p>How do you communicate when you see (your Loved One's) problematic behavior? </p><p>We'll show you how to pay more attention to *intention* — CRAFT guides us to observe the behavior, and point it <em>calmly</em> and <em>thoughtfully </em>and <em>without adding your two cents/ personal interpretation</em>. </p><p>Once you have briefly and specifically told your Loved One how the behavior impacts you, you can then step back <em>without expectation of an outcome</em>, and give them the dignity of processing what you've said. Over time, this CRAFT tool can lead to long-term change.</p><p>We explain how to do this, and <strong>when are the best times</strong> to communicate.</p><p>The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Wednesdays at 6:30pm ET</strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Email <strong>kaylacraftgroup@gmail.com</strong> to join or learn more</p></li></ul><p><em>(Cost should not be a barrier—please reach out if you're interested)</em></p><p>Allies in Recovery's member site is currently "on pause". <a href="https://alliesinrecovery.net/pause/">Learn more here</a>. </p><p>During this time, we have taken our entire eLearning program out from behind the paywall—the entire library of learning videos is currently available on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AlliesinrecoveryNet">youtube channel</a>.</p><p></p><p></p>
