In her powerful new book, Conscious Bravery, Caring for Someone with Addiction, Pamela Brinker combines her professional knowledge with her personal experiences to create a caring and helpful guide for those who are dealing with loved ones struggling with addiction and mental health issues.

Pamela joins us to discuss not only how to navigate the emotional roller coaster of addiction, but how to survive and thrive with positivity.

As a licensed clinical psychotherapist, Pamela has been working with clients to help move them through pain and into bravery for many years. She is a passionate speaker, educator and advocate, but above all she is a mother who has struggled with the emotions and challenges of raising two sons wrestling with addiction.
