They don't stop caring about everything else because the sufferer would really not suffer so badly if they did stop caring because they wouldn't be exposed to the guilt and the remorse and the shame and stuff like that of their behaviors because it wouldn't bother them.
Imagine feeling like your world is crumbling because your teen is caught in the throes of addiction. It's a heart-wrenching reality for many parents, who often grapple with intense feelings of shame and guilt. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane sits down with Patrick Hawkins, the founder of Triple Divide Lodge, to unpack these heavy emotions and offer a way forward.
Patrick's unique blend of residential treatment and adventure therapy for young men aged 14-19 provides a fresh perspective on tackling substance misuse. He delves into how unresolved feelings can snowball into chronic emotional distress, leading to behaviors that are hard for parents to reconcile with the children they once knew. But there's hope. Patrick emphasizes that addiction is its own beast, separate from other mental health issues, and requires a distinct approach.
He encourages families to seek education and support, stressing the importance of healing together. Through open communication and setting boundaries, parents can help their kids—and themselves—navigate this turbulent journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the chains of shame and find a path to recovery.
