So, with family members, it can feel like the most counterintuitive thing to do when you're in the midst of it, but it's the most helpful thing to do to put on your own oxygen mask.
Ever wondered how addiction impacts not just the individual but the entire family? In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with therapists Sarah Schwalbach and Julia Edelman to unpack the complex family roles that emerge when a loved one struggles with addiction. From enabling and denial to blame and preoccupation, families often fall into patterns that can be harmful despite their best intentions.
Schwalbach and Edelman dive deep into these dynamics, offering practical advice on how to 'detach with love' and why it's crucial to prioritize your own well-being first. Their conversation is both enlightening and compassionate, highlighting the importance of setting boundaries and seeking help for oneself as a way to better support a loved one. Whether you're dealing with addiction in your family or looking to understand it better, this episode provides valuable insights and a sense of hope.
