Family Ties and Addiction: Setting Boundaries and Seeking Support

It goes back to the discussion about your boundaries, and I think one of the things that we see people doing...is that when people do understand boundaries, they can often make a great big, long list of them and start trying to enforce all these boundaries all at once.
When addiction infiltrates a family, it can feel like navigating a minefield. In this episode of Wehab, Dr. Terry sits down with Victoria Seed and Catherine Schneider, two experts in family addiction dynamics. They tackle tough topics like setting boundaries, talking openly with children, and dealing with the heavy burden of guilt and shame. Victoria and Catherine emphasize that boundaries are not about controlling others but about protecting your own well-being.
They also stress the importance of early intervention and honest communication, especially with children, to break the cycle of secrecy and misinformation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to foster healthier family relationships amidst the chaos of addiction. Packed with practical advice and compassionate insights, it offers a roadmap for those struggling to find balance and support within their family system.
