When we look to a relationship to give us love, significance, and security, we can become idolatrous about that relationship.
Feeling like your family is stuck in a never-ending loop of crises, even after sobriety? In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober on Purpose', hosts Tanya and Jerry dive into the thorny issue of codependency within families. Drawing from their own experiences and the teachings of Christian speaker Jeff VanVonderen, they unpack why some families can't seem to escape these unhealthy patterns. Tanya shares how attending VanVonderen's seminar, 'Wounded by Shame, Healed by Grace', was a turning point for her family.
The couple discusses the pitfalls of unhelpful help and enabling behaviors, shedding light on how these actions can keep families trapped in a cycle of dysfunction. They emphasize the importance of allowing natural consequences and fostering personal growth to break free from these patterns. Whether you're newly sober or have been navigating sobriety for years, Tanya and Jerry offer practical advice and a dose of hope for anyone dealing with codependent family dynamics.
This episode is packed with insights that can help you cultivate healthier relationships and a more balanced family life.
