Caregiving Through Addiction w/ Dr. Nicole Kosanke

This week, Dr. Mark is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Nicole Kosanke to discuss the complex reality of loving someone with an addiction. Unlike other forms of caregiving, addiction often introduces broken trust, impossible questions, and the fear of enabling. Dr. Kosanke breaks down the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) and Invitation to Change models, providing actionable advice for families feeling overwhelmed by crisis. This episode explores how caregivers can establish boundaries, role-model healthy behaviors, and prioritize their own well-being without abandoning their loved ones.Click here to watch a video of this episode.
