This podcast is the narrated version of my article 3 Therapy Techniques That Help Your Clients Transcend Their Labels.
It appeared that Kennedy had himself fundamentally flagged as having alcoholism rather than as having conquered alcoholism.
In this episode I talk about:
- Where is the real you in all of this?
- Tip One: Frame the condition as a behaviour or temporary current state
- Tip Two: Refer to ‘it’ not ‘you’
- Tip Three: Look at life beyond the label
