Here's a quote from Debra's interview:
"I think it's a misconception that intervention has to be angry," she says. "You can use love, not confrontation, to break through the denial many people develop to coexist with their troubles. In fact, love is so powerful, much more so than anger or shame, that very little can trump it or initiate change in the same way without wounding the relationship."
