Enabling is hindering a growth in a person and not allowing them to take their own responsibility for their behaviors and consequences.
What does it mean to truly help someone struggling with addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Finding Hope', Amy LaRue sits down with Karen to tackle the complex issue of enabling. Karen opens up about her own journey with her son's addiction, sharing how her well-intentioned actions often hindered his path to recovery. From bailing him out of jail to taking on his responsibilities, Karen's story is a candid look at the fine line between support and enabling.
Amy and Karen discuss why we enable, the different forms it can take, and most importantly, how to stop. They explore the importance of setting boundaries and allowing loved ones to face the consequences of their actions. Karen's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best way to help is to step back and let them take control of their own recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the challenging waters of supporting a loved one through addiction, offering practical advice and heartfelt insights into finding that delicate balance.
