Ask the Therapist with My Mom!

Susan Knower, my therapist mom, joins us today for an Ask Me Anything, therapist style! She is a licensed professional counselor with a substance abuse specialization and is here today to answer the most common questions you submitted on Instagram. 

We’ll talk about the challenge of convincing a loved one to stop drinking, if trauma can be healed without a professional therapist, how the ‘stages of change’ apply to alcohol, the role of a therapist in a person’s healing journey, our thoughts on rehab, and tips for redirecting your negative internal thoughts. 

The following books were mentioned in today’s episode: 

Codependent No More by Melody Beattie

Buy Yourself the F*cking Lillies by Tara Schuster
