You're Caught in the Communication Trap
"Every conversation feels like walking through a minefield..."
Does this sound familiar?
You stay laser-focused on your loved one's addiction, watching their every move, trying to help, trying to fix but somehow it always backfires.
Maybe you've tried the indirect approach:
- Researching treatment options for them (without them asking)
- Sharing articles and information, hoping they'll "get it"
- Quietly fixing problems behind the scenes
- Waiting for them to follow through on promises they can't keep
Or maybe you've gone direct:
- Pointing out what they're doing wrong
- Being brutally honest about what needs to change
- Confronting the problem head-on
- Speaking your truth, even when it's hard
Here's what nobody tells you: Both approaches can lead to the same painful outcome of resentment, arguments, and a damaged relationship.
Don't spend another day trapped in the same painful conversations.
Join Dr. Julie Shafer and Jeff Jones for this game-changing webinar about family communication and addiction. You'll leave with tools you can use immediately.

See for yourself why the same conversations keep happening and what you can do differently.
This conversation is for you if:
✓ You're stuck in the same painful conversations with your loved one about their addiction
✓ You feel like the "bad guy" whether you're direct or indirect in your communication
✓ You're exhausted from staying hyper-focused on their every move and decision
✓ You want to help but keep getting pushed away or met with defensiveness
✓ You're not ready to "detach with love" but need something different than what you're doing
✓ You suspect your people-pleasing patterns are part of the problem but don't know how to change without "giving up"
You’re welcome to come on your own, or bring your loved one if they’re open to it. No pressure either way. What matters is that you’ll walk away with new language, fresh perspective, and simple tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and supported in this incredibly tough journey.

Stop Waiting for Them
to Change First
The truth is when you change your side of the communication pattern, you create space for the entire relationship dynamic to shift.
This isn't about:
- Manipulating them into recovery
- Learning better ways to control the situation
- Becoming the "perfect" family member
This IS about:
- Recognizing the patterns that keep you both stuck
- Reclaiming your power to influence (not control) the relationship
- Creating authentic connection that serves everyone's healing
