The amount of stress you feel comes from your thoughts rather than the situation. That means stress can be reduced by gaining the skills you need to handle the situation and being intentional with how you think about it.
Feeling overwhelmed by your child's addiction? Heather Ross gets it. In this episode, she breaks down the differences between worry, stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, and offers practical advice on how to manage these emotions. According to Heather, the intensity of your stress isn't about the situation itself but how you perceive your ability to handle it. She explains that by developing the right skills and being mindful of your thoughts, you can significantly reduce stress levels.
Heather's compassionate approach encourages parents to support themselves while fostering a positive change in their children. She emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in diffusing conflict and overcoming challenges. By understanding where these emotions manifest in your body and how they affect you, you can take control rather than being controlled by them.
If you're looking for ways to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you and your family heal.
