23. Addiction and Interventions: Separating Fact from Fiction

Written By Jacqueline Fisch

If you’ve ever had a loved one struggle with addiction, you’ve probably considered staging an intervention, like the ones you’ve seen on TV. 

But the question is, do they actually work? 

In this episode, I’m discussing the science behind addiction and why the “tough love” approach often fails in this scenario.

Plus, I’m sharing what you can do to guide your loved one to change instead, while also safeguarding your own mental well-being.
