You're rebuilding a relationship based on informed consent and authenticity.
Feeling overwhelmed by guilt trips from your partner in recovery? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'Your Partner’s Addiction', Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy tackles the tricky subject of recovery guilt trips and how to handle them with confidence. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, Karilyn shares a real-life example of a client who struggled with setting boundaries while her husband was in recovery.
The client felt guilty for maintaining certain boundaries, even though they were necessary for her well-being. Karilyn emphasizes that it's crucial to set boundaries that feel right for you, without feeling obligated or pressured. She challenges listeners to consider if they would feel guilty about refusing to get high with their partner just because it makes them feel loved. The answer is usually a resounding no, highlighting the importance of trusting your own decisions.
Open communication and informed consent are key elements in rebuilding a relationship based on authenticity. Karilyn suggests having honest conversations about your comfort levels and expectations. For instance, if you're okay with going on dates but not ready for cohabitation, make that clear. This transparency helps both partners understand and respect each other's boundaries.
If you’re struggling with guilt trips in your partner’s addiction recovery, Karilyn recommends seeking coaching to help you learn how to trust yourself and advocate for your needs. Coaching can offer the support and guidance needed to navigate these challenges more effectively. Tune in to this episode for practical advice on setting boundaries, fostering open communication, and building a relationship rooted in trust and authenticity.
