Navigating Toxic Family Dynamics: Strategies from The Recovered Life Show

Once you no longer need them to be who you needed them to be and you can take care of yourself, you're in the safest place that you can imagine.
Family gatherings can be a mixed bag, especially when some members are less than supportive. In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis tackle the tricky subject of dealing with toxic family members. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by family drama, this conversation is a must-listen. Kristina, an expert in codependency and recovery, shares practical advice on setting boundaries and recognizing unhealthy patterns. One standout tip?
Decide in advance how much you want to share about your sobriety, and have responses ready to steer the conversation. This proactive approach can help you stay in control and maintain your emotional sobriety. Damon and Kristina also discuss the importance of self-care during these high-stress interactions. Whether it's learning to say 'no' or finding ways to decompress after a tough family encounter, they offer strategies to protect your mental well-being.
