It's about finding alternatives to fulfill our needs in a healthier way.
Imagine the chaos of trying to help a loved one struggling with substance abuse, only to find yourself slipping into unhealthy habits. That's where Helen Hannah steps in. As a transformation coach, Helen knows firsthand the stress and overwhelm that families face, especially mothers fearing the worst for their children. In this episode of 'The Unbreakable Boundaries Podcast', Helen shares practical strategies for maintaining your own well-being while supporting someone else through their addiction journey.
Helen dives into the importance of setting and defending personal boundaries, a crucial step for anyone in a caregiving role. She also tackles the tricky subject of alcohol use among support persons. While it might not be full-blown alcoholism, even moderate drinking can disrupt sleep patterns and mental clarity, making it harder to cope effectively. Helen offers healthier alternatives to these coping mechanisms, ensuring you can be there for your loved one without sacrificing your own health.
One of the standout topics Helen addresses is the culture of alcohol and the peer pressure that often accompanies it. She emphasizes finding ways to fulfill emotional needs without turning to the bottle. It's about creating a supportive environment where you can thrive while helping others. This episode isn't just for those directly dealing with addiction in their families. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their mental and physical health through better boundary-setting and self-care practices.
Tune in to learn how to navigate these challenging waters with strength and compassion.
