This is a difficult place to be because, on the one hand, you've experienced worse times, so you're grateful for the progress, that's much better, and you're worried about your son or daughter making backward progress and falling into old habits.
Imagine the relief of seeing your child reach 11 months of sobriety, yet still grappling with the aftermath of substance misuse. In this heartfelt episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane sits down with Alana, a parent navigating the complex journey of supporting her daughter’s sobriety. Alana’s daughter has faced severe depression and anxiety, particularly during the challenging times of COVID-19, which were further compounded by personal traumas.
Despite these hurdles, Alana remains hopeful but finds herself caught in a cycle of trying to 'fix' her daughter’s life, often through relentless to-do lists and nagging. Brenda provides compassionate coaching, guiding Alana on how to support her daughter without overstepping. They discuss the power of acknowledging progress and the pivotal role self-care plays in shaping a positive environment. Brenda shares her own experiences, emphasizing that sometimes our well-intentioned actions can push our loved ones away.
The episode dives into practical strategies like journaling and open communication to foster a healthier relationship. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone dealing with similar challenges. It offers a blend of empathy, practical advice, and hope. Whether you’re a parent struggling to balance support with independence or someone looking for ways to maintain your own well-being while helping a loved one, this conversation is both enlightening and comforting.
Tune in to 'Hopestream' for a candid discussion on celebrating milestones and the crucial role of self-care in the journey toward sobriety.
