Fear keeps us paralyzed and unable to move forward.
Ever felt trapped in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction, unsure why you can't just walk away? Michelle Anderson dives into this tricky topic in this episode of 'Love Over Addiction'. She breaks down three major reasons why leaving isn't as simple as it seems, even when you know it's the right move. First up, Michelle explains how manipulative tactics can keep you tethered.
Your loved one might say all the right things, make promises to change, or even threaten to take drastic actions. These manipulations can make it incredibly hard to break free. Next, there's the heavy burden of guilt. Many of us are natural people-pleasers, feeling guilty about breaking promises or abandoning someone we care about. This guilt can be paralyzing, making it difficult to put your own needs first. Lastly, Michelle tackles the role of fear.
Fear of the unknown, fear of repercussions, and fear of making the wrong decision can all keep you stuck in a harmful situation. Michelle also introduces the 'Love Over Addiction' and 'Stay or Go' programs. These resources are designed to help you navigate these complex emotions and make informed decisions about your future. Whether you're looking for ways to stop second-guessing yourself or need practical advice on what to do before consulting a lawyer, these programs offer valuable support.
With empathy and practical wisdom, this episode offers a lifeline to anyone feeling overwhelmed by a loved one's addiction. It's a must-listen for those seeking clarity and support in their journey.
