Episode Overview

I guarantee there are more than just that, but where, if you can find a space or a clinic that is focused on addiction and helps children process it with other children, that's also huge because there's such a stigma, right? So helping kids see like, 'oh, your dad also drinks. Yep. Yeah. And I misspoke. Minneapolis, I think.'
What does it take to build healthy relationships, especially when addiction is part of the equation? In this episode of 'The Boy Problems Podcast', hosts Katie, Jessica, and Shannon sit down with Eli Harwood, also known as @attachmentnerd, to explore this very question. Eli, a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience, brings her unique insights into how addiction affects family dynamics and attachment styles.
She shares practical advice on how to talk to kids about addiction, how to handle divorce with minimal emotional damage, and ways for those in recovery to mend broken relationships. Eli's personal background as the adult child of an alcoholic adds depth and authenticity to the discussion. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of addiction within their family. Whether you're a parent, partner, or friend, you'll find valuable tips and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply.
