Yes, indeed. The Onionhead® products are very useful for this purpose. Most substance users numb their emotions in order to survive. They do not know what they feel at all. Onionhead® is an easy, non threatening, gentle way to introduce them to themselves. The results have been extremely positive.

How can I use Onionhead® with my family?
Monday, April 26th, 2010Onionhead® is appropriate for every member of the family, no matter what the age. Take time to sit together and pull some cards. Then talk about what and why you feel this way. This creates an intimacy that would otherwise probably not occur. Use Onionhead® for problem solving, confusion, difficulties, and even in peaceful times. The magnets also serve as a quick and easy way to get to know each other better. Trust and honesty are birthed as a result.

Every time you ask them a question, have them answer through Onionhead®. Because Onionhead® is pure and non-threatening, he becomes one with them.
