If you're surviving on the street, you have a tremendous number of strengths and abilities. I feel like that's the orientation that we're talking about - what skill do you have? And how do I see that as a gift that you have, as opposed to the prevention piece where we want to not make any waves or not upset people.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a never-ending loop of negative emotions and trauma while trying to support a loved one battling addiction? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of 'Coming Up For Air', hosts Laurie McDougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Levine dive into how these accumulated feelings can shape our relationships and interactions. They share heartfelt discussions on the importance of stepping back, reassessing situations, and allowing loved ones to handle their own challenges without constant intervention.
It's about breaking the usual cycles and finding new ways to communicate and engage. The hosts highlight practical steps to shift communication patterns, foster calmness, and adopt a neutral approach. They emphasize the significance of disentangling oneself from a loved one's choices, allowing them to face natural consequences and discover their own strengths. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for families navigating the complexities of addiction, offering hope and strategies for creating positive change.
