Individual healing must precede relationship healing. Encourage your partner to get help.
Ever wondered how addiction recovery affects intimate relationships? In this episode of Recovery Innovators Radio, Ginger Berkelhamer dives into the complex world of rebuilding love and trust after addiction. Berkelhamer, an expert in energy leadership and a dedicated coach, shares her wisdom on how couples can heal together while maintaining their sobriety. She emphasizes that individual healing must come first. Partners are encouraged to seek their own support through counseling or groups like Al-Anon or Nar-Anon.
This helps them relearn trust, forgive past hurts, and resist controlling behaviors. Berkelhamer outlines six key principles for reconstructing relationships during recovery. These include healing past wounds, redefining roles, changing communication habits, developing new sexual intimacy patterns, and shedding negative behaviors. Through her own experiences with addiction and recovery, she highlights the importance of defining what you want in a relationship and holding yourself accountable to be the partner you aspire to be.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights that can make a real difference.
