When people are checking in about their family, how much do you actually disclose? Is this absolutely immobilizing, annihilating emotion, because what it does is it absolutely takes away all kinds of ability to process, because it s like bathing in a negative emotion and you can see how actually those negative consequences for the family member.
Ever wondered how love and shame intertwine when addiction impacts a family? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Dominique Simone Levine, Laurie McDougall, and Kayla Solomon dive into these emotional complexities. They explore how love, whether conditional or unconditional, shapes our reactions and boundaries within family dynamics affected by addiction. You'll hear about the protective role of shame and why it's crucial to set boundaries around behavior, not love.
The hosts break down how societal blame can immobilize families, making it harder to cope with emotions. They offer practical advice on resilience, hope, and effective communication strategies to support your loved ones through recovery. Whether you're grappling with feelings of guilt or trying to understand the importance of boundaries, this episode provides valuable insights to help you navigate these turbulent waters.
