Love and Addiction: How Drugs Shape Intimate Relationships

Recovery for the entire family is possible, that everybody needs to make changes, and if they do so, you've just bettered your odds of the family and the addict succeeding and the family staying intact.
Can love survive addiction? That's the question at the heart of this episode of 'I Took the High Road', where host Jacob Jansen sits down with licensed professional counselor Dan Bird from Alliance Counseling Center. They dive deep into how drug use can ripple through intimate relationships, often causing turmoil not just for the user but for their loved ones as well. This isn't just about the surface-level impact; it's about understanding the intricate dynamics that come into play.
From co-dependency to enabling behaviors, Jacob and Dan tackle some tough topics head-on. Ever wondered why setting boundaries is so crucial in relationships affected by addiction? Or how anger management can play a role in couples counseling? These are just a few of the questions they explore. Dan also shares practical advice on techniques like Emotionally Focused Therapy and Stress Resistance, offering listeners tangible tools to navigate these challenging waters.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or looking to support someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and a healthy dose of hope.
