When someone is brought up this way with dysfunction as they become an adult, who do you think they're going to be attracted to? Right? Where are they going to feel most comfortable? That is correct. Someone who's overbalanced in the opposite direction? Someone who thinks about themselves and concerns themselves with what they want? Someone in this position brought up this way? You know they're going to be attracted to selfish people.
Ever thought about how your family dynamics might shape your relationships and addiction patterns? In this eye-opening episode of 'Alternative To Rehab', Dave Cooper unpacks the profound effects of family dysfunction on our lives. This is part three of a six-part series where Dave digs into the concept of reverse addiction, focusing on vulnerability and its roots in dysfunctional family environments.
He explains how growing up in such settings can lead us to be drawn to selfish partners, creating unhealthy relationship cycles that are hard to break. Cooper's insights reveal that these patterns often repeat until recovery begins, emphasizing the crucial role of self-worth and healthy dynamics in the healing process.
By listening to this episode, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why we might be attracted to certain types of people and how to foster healthier relationships as part of addiction recovery. Dave’s blend of faith, science, and practical advice offers a fresh perspective on overcoming these challenges. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode is packed with valuable insights and hope for a healthier future.
