Episode 8: Using Positive Psychology to Overcome Substance Use Disorder
Show Notes:
The conversation is about drug addiction and a clinical social worker named Patrick Doyle's approach to helping families with loved ones struggling with addiction
Patrick's approach involves educating and training families on positive reinforcement parenting and problem-solving to influence their teens to cooperate with house rules and enter into treatment
The speakers discuss how negative language surrounding addiction can be detrimental and that families who do not resonate with traditional approaches can benefit from Patrick's approach
Positive reinforcement parenting can help maintain a loving relationship between parents and their teenage children, including rewards such as money, mobile phone access, free time, and socializing with friends
The speakers discuss the importance of establishing phones as currency for rewards and punishments, and the challenges of raising children with access to technology
Good life coaching and practicing outside of coaching is important for learning to occur
It's important to have hope and confidence for people with substance use disorder and their loved ones, and to never give up on kids
Ongoing drug testing can lead to negative reinforcement and a lack of trust from the child
Patrick can be reached at familyaddictioncoach.com, where there is useful guidance information and a podcast
This episode features an interview with:
PATRICK DOYLE
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
“If your loved one's substance use has become unmanageable, you’ve tried everything but refuse to give up, and are desperately seeking hope-- I know how you feel.” - Patrick Doyle
Patrick was raised in a large, chaotic household, and his own adult child has struggled with alcohol addiction and anxiety. Refusing to give up on his son, he found a way out for my family.
For 30 years, he has helped clients save their family from addiction as a therapist/Family Coach by providing the tools to influence positive change in a loved one. His certification in the delivery of Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) helps clients and families create a solid plan, based on proven solutions, with the best chance for success.
Patrick provides private, one on one, personalized coaching, expert guidance, treatment navigation and advocacy, and crisis consultations via phone or video telehealth. Patients in addiction treatment need an advocate. His approach utilizes compassion, harm reduction, and evidence-based research.
