Earlier this week, I wrote something for Salon about rethinking “tough love” when it comes to addiction. There has been a huge, largely positive response.

These earlier models of tough love keep those struggling locked in a cycle of shame. And that shame becomes a gatekeeper that prevents people from reaching out for help. That shame kills people. It nearly killed me.

You can read the rest of the article on Salon: We need to rethink "tough love" as a response to addiction.

I’d love to hear what you think!
