It’s happened again and again. A client reaches a new understanding of her mental health status, and then asks for resources for her family members. The lifestyle changes required when someone realizes that they are, for example, addicted to alcohol (or suffer from bipolar mood swings or have been living with depression for many years) always have an impact on loved ones. Suddenly the client doesn’t want to go along with old patterns of behavior. She may need to eat out less, to support a new weight loss initiative. Or he may require strict rules about sleep and quiet time, to maintain functionality with AD/HD.
