I think I started with boundaries and a lot of the books I was reading would have the examples. The examples were of someone married to an active alcoholic and what that really looked like, and hiding for their spouse and all that stuff that I wasn't doing.
Ever wondered if your loved one's relapse is somehow your fault? Or struggled to set boundaries with someone battling substance use disorder? You might be dealing with codependency. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Michael Walsh sits down with Chico and Shannon West to unpack these complex issues. Chico, a licensed therapist, and Shannon, his business manager, share their professional and personal experiences with codependency and its impact on relationships.
They dive into how setting boundaries can change the dynamics of these relationships and the role of support groups like Al-Anon. The Wests also discuss the benefits of pre-marital counseling for couples in early recovery and explore how recovery language and lingo can affect communication. They touch on a range of topics, from intervention services to the influence of spirituality in the healing process.
Whether you're struggling with codependency yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights that could make a difference in your journey. Tune in for a candid conversation that blends professional expertise with personal stories, providing a comprehensive look at navigating relationships affected by addiction.
