Season 1, Pilot Episode 3

Picking up right where we left off in Building Hope Part 1, George and Daniel move into a discussion about harm reduction (taking care of ourselves) and Drug Use For Grownups by Carl Hart. Daniel asks questions about how to deal with people who think they're helping, but they're not, which leads to discussion about the complexities of family connections and substance use. George and Daniel discuss how their belief systems affect meaning in life. Karen asks if their current conversation is what counseling is like. George describes the collaborative, adaptive, and diverse road of counseling therapy, a road that should feel good and helpful. The conversation wraps up around judgement versus compassionate curiosity and hope, and how to use the Building Hope video. https://youtu.be/0BFiCM1Qlmk
