When you’re willing to see the possibility that everything, even your partner’s addictive behavior, even your own thoughts and feelings about your partner’s addiction, is neutral, then you are really on the verge of complete emotional freedom.
Ever feel like your partner's actions are a direct reflection of their love or commitment to you? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Your Partner's Addiction', Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy tackles the all-too-common trap of either/or thinking. We often create rigid rules for how our partner should behave, and when they don't meet these expectations, we jump to painful conclusions. But what if there was another way to look at things?
Karilyn introduces the concept of neutrality, suggesting that everything—even your partner's addictive behavior—is neutral until we assign it meaning. By embracing this perspective, you can find a path to emotional freedom and reduce the pain caused by your assumptions. She also highlights the importance of setting boundaries and making choices that align with your values, rather than being driven by anxiety or codependency.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with a partner's addiction, offering a fresh lens to view your relationship and reclaim your emotional well-being.
