Healthy Boundaries for Families: Insights from PAL's Kim Humphreys

When you enable, when you do things for somebody that they should be doing for themselves, essentially you're robbing them of the self-esteem that they would get from solving their own problem.
When addiction affects a family, the emotional toll can be overwhelming. In this episode of 'Facing Addiction', Tyler Tisdale sits down with Kim Humphreys, CEO of Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL), to explore the delicate balance of setting healthy boundaries. Kim shares her wisdom on how parents often struggle with 'blinders' when it comes to their children's addiction, and how crucial it is to avoid enabling behaviors that can inadvertently hinder recovery.
She introduces the PAL contract, a practical tool designed to help families maintain structure and accountability while supporting their loved ones. The conversation doesn't stop at boundaries; it also dives into the array of resources PAL offers to families in need. Whether you're a parent grappling with a child's addiction or someone seeking to understand the dynamics better, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable advice.
Tune in for a compassionate discussion that highlights the importance of boundaries and the power of community support.
