Enabling is getting between someone and the consequences of their choices or actions.
Ever wondered if your kindness might be doing more harm than good? In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer, Kelli, and Swetha tackle the tricky topic of enabling. They kick things off by sharing their personal definitions of enabling, which they describe as 'getting between someone and the consequences of their choices or actions'. It's a concept that didn't come naturally to them, often confusing helpfulness with enabling due to codependency.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and honest reflections, they shed light on how to recognize when you're enabling rather than helping. You'll hear about the delicate balance between offering support and letting go, the importance of setting boundaries, and the journey towards serenity through Al-Anon's 12-step recovery process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to find that balance between caring and enabling, providing practical advice and emotional support for a more peaceful life.
