Key Takeaways [:26] Steve Legler welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Foote and invites him to share a little bit about how the cultural discussion on substance abuse hasn’t evolved a lot in the past decades and how his book addresses this issue head-on. [3:09] Cultural norms around addiction are hugely stigmatizing, Dr. Jeffrey raises another very damaging side-effect of culture as a variety of approaches that are not evidence-based are recirculated. [5:17] Advisors are in a unique and very powerful position, and as such do need to be both sensitive and informed to provide a truly helpful direction. [7:10] Dr. Foote touches on how Eddie Ford managed to move the perception of addiction forward from a simplistic moral issue to that of a disease. [9:00] Stepping back and being able to look at the potential reasons for a person’s behavior is a good step toward understanding. [10:56] Dr. Jeffrey offers the one thing he would ask advisors and families to do first and foremost: slow down. [13:06] It turns out kindness is an evidence-based idea and it can motivate change. [15:22] The invitation to change the model and some of the tools used to put it into practice. [17:04] Dr. Foote explains why and how figuring out why those behaviors make sense helps you be kind while tackling addiction. [18:36] The most powerful resource! Navigating out of addiction is more often successful when the families are involved, but families are the most underserved voices in addiction treatment. [20:36] Self-awareness and self-care are a major part of helping others, but Dr. Foote cautions that it doesn’t necessarily mean detaching and walking away. [22:44] Good communication tools are a huge asset, whatever the pain point! The Beyond Addiction Workbook offers compassionate, evidence-based tools. [25:10] The past decades have offered some incremental change in addiction treatment, but the very high prevalence of co-occurring psychiatric issues still needs to be brought to light and addressed. [28:01] Having a moderating voice in a family discussion on addiction is important to help slow things down. [29:58] Dr. Jeffrey Foote shares his book recommendations as well as his advice for advisors and families.
