2 Rock Star Things That Took Me 25 Years To Find Out
—

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With another episode of a Rock Star Take On.
We rebooted this series a few weeks ago.
Changes that were made are:
– Vids are now 10 minutes. -Ish. Ten-minutes-ish!
– And I go in without preparation. Embodied knowledge only!

Invitation to subscribe to this current blog (Catacombe, where you are now).
In particular if I forget to include something in the video, then it will still be included here.

2. Interventions done right 02:17
Not an expert here, but came at it from the inquiry:
“But what would a GOOD intervention, actually look like?!”
+ definition what intervention even is, or what we usually mean when we’re talking about interventions.

3. Do it alone 03:40
Do it with the minimum amount of people, ideally one-on-one.
(make adjustments if needed, in particular for your own safety)
Maybe “official” interveners have a different perspective on this, but to me 1-on-1 is ideal because respect and equality should be leading.
Not overpowering the person you’re intervening on, by six to one or whatever, is a good start.

4. Don’t tie it to your support or presence 05:05
Before the intervention, already make a decision whether you’re going to stay in this person’s life (even if it might be in a small way) or if you are leaving (but with the door open for when they’re clean/sober).
Communicate the decision with clarity, very early in the meeting.
Make clear that this decision is independent from how the person responds to the intervention.

5. Empowerment 07:00
Make it a respectful conversation, honoring the choices someone has made or is making, and coming at it from them being in the director’s chair of their life.
Or you reminding them of the truth of them being in control.

An intervention done right is about respecting yourself (the intervener), respecting the other (the intervened) and speaking in a way that invites them to respect themselves.

Let’s explore this concept a little bit deeper.
The next stop is Rock Star Take On
RESPECT!

It will go out on this blog.
