Over Isla
Isla learned the hard way that you cannot simply push gambling away. She learned to live with it, one step at a time, and speaks openly about that journey.
Aanpak
Plenty of room for your story, with few of the suggestions you have already heard a hundred times. Practical whenever possible.
Tips van Isla
- Separate what is yours to carry from what belongs to someone else.
- Prepare for difficult conversations with two sentences you know by heart.
- Build a relapse plan before you need it.
Voorbeeldgesprek
I'm actually ashamed of it.
That makes sense, and it's also exactly what keeps it going. I hid it for years. What's the worst thing you think might happen if someone finds out?
They'll think I'm weak.
The opposite happened to me. Shall we practise how you could tell someone you trust in a single sentence?
