No partner is ever responsible for someone's acting out, and that's my greatest sadness with codependency is it leaves a lingering question with partners and family members.
Ever felt like you're doing everything you can for a loved one struggling with addiction, yet still getting blamed? Dr. Rob Weiss is here to flip the script. In this episode of Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery, Dr. Weiss introduces his groundbreaking prodependency model, offering a fresh perspective on addiction recovery that focuses on compassion, community, and self-care. As a seasoned psychotherapist, sexologist, and international educator, Dr.
Weiss knows a thing or two about the challenges families face when dealing with addiction. He argues that the traditional codependency model often leaves family members feeling blamed and shamed for their loved one's actions. Instead, the prodependency model recognizes that no partner or family member is ever responsible for someone else's addiction or behavior. Dr. Weiss believes that addiction recovery isn't just an individual journey but a collective one.
He emphasizes the importance of family members focusing on their own well-being and self-care, rather than solely on the addicted loved one. Throughout the episode, he shares valuable insights into the role of technology in addiction and recovery, the impact of addiction on families, and the importance of compassion and community support. If you're navigating the rough waters of addiction within your family, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice.
Tune in to learn how you can apply these principles to your own life and support your loved ones without losing yourself in the process.
