Episode 106: Family-Focused Addiction Recovery with Judeline Galek
March 12, 2021
In this episode of the A:R Podcast, I have a conversation with Family Recovery Support Coach Judeline Galek, who helps family members become informed and empowered to help support a loved one going through recovery while reducing relapse rates.
Hi, there, A:R Nation! I hope all is well!
On this episode of the A:R Podcast, we're having a conversation about a challenge that many families experience, but rarely gets any attention.
We're talk about substance addiction, and becoming better support for our loved ones as they are going through recovery.
To guide this conversation, we're joined by Judeline Galek, a Family Recovery Support Coach and founder of Passaje LLC, where she helps make family members better team members as they support someone going through recovery.
In this conversation, Judy shares her story, starting off as a CNA, meeting her desire to help people in need.
From there, she found her way into office support work, including as a case manager and family case specialist in a rehab facility, where she was able to curate information and strategies for families as someone was going through rehab, and develop tailored plans to help those families succeed.
Judy found, however, that there was a gap, a gap in what people expected recovery to be like versus what recovery actually is like.
She started to implement all the things she had learned in her support roles, and started coaching families more intimately almost as a side hobby.
Judy knew she was onto something when those families that she had worked with privately were seeing great results and marked decreases in relapse rates.
In sharing about her coaching, she talks about recovery being a road based around self-discovery.
Judy talks about one of the biggest challenges that many families experience is that their support - what they know constitutes support - is based around fear, which often causes a cycle of breakdowns in the household, and overcoming this challenge.
She shares some earmarks for people to be aware of where someone may be in need of recovery, and when the family members may want to consider working with a coach.
Finally, Judy shares some parting words that may help alleviate the frustrations a family may experience as a loved one is progressing through recovery.
Let me smell your breath, let me see your eyes comes from a place of fear. This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.
