Healing Within a Relationship: Karilyn Ivers Tracy's Perspective
Just because it's possible to heal wherever you are doesn't mean you have to, and it doesn't mean that you necessarily should either.
Feeling trapped in a relationship because your partner struggles with addiction? Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy is here to offer a fresh perspective in this episode of 'Your Partner’s Addiction'. Many therapists suggest that healing from trauma is impossible unless you leave the relationship. But Karilyn challenges this notion by sharing a real-life coaching experience that explores the possibility of healing while staying with your partner.
Karilyn recounts the story of a client who was told by her therapist that she couldn’t heal unless she left her partner. Instead of taking this advice at face value, Karilyn guided her client through a process of self-discovery and inner guidance. She emphasizes that while healing can happen anywhere, the decision to stay or leave should come from within, not from external pressures. One of the central themes of this episode is learning to trust yourself.
Karilyn dives into practical steps for releasing anxiety and breaking free from codependent patterns. She also discusses the importance of seeking support, whether it’s from a coach or therapist, and understanding the nuances of emotional abuse and neglect. Listeners will find this episode both enlightening and empowering. Karilyn’s compassionate approach provides actionable insights for those struggling with similar challenges.
Whether you're contemplating staying or leaving, this episode offers valuable tools to help you make informed decisions and start your journey towards healing. Tune in to 'Your Partner’s Addiction' for an episode that’s not just about coping but thriving amidst adversity.
