Family members often feel like they can control their loved one's addiction, but the truth is that they can't. It's important for them to set healthy boundaries and change their reactions to the addict's behavior.
What happens when addiction grips not just an individual but an entire family? This episode of 'Talksicology' brings you an eye-opening conversation with bestselling author Blake Cohen. Hosted by Joseph Gorordo and Jason Cabello, the discussion centers around Cohen's book 'I Love You More' and dives deep into the role of family in the recovery journey. Cohen, who has lived through addiction himself, shares personal anecdotes that highlight how substance use disorders ripple through family dynamics, affecting everyone involved.
He also tackles the tough topics of codependency and enabling behaviors, urging family members to focus on their own emotional health and set firm boundaries. These are not just abstract concepts; Cohen offers actionable advice aimed at transforming how families react to their loved one's addiction. His book, already making waves internationally, serves as a resource for treatment centers and family programs to spark meaningful conversations about recovery.
If you're looking for insights on how to navigate the complexities of addiction within a family, this episode is a must-listen.
