Looking at it with a licensed therapist and understanding how a family system that you were raised in could potentially impact how you are raising your own children is incredibly valuable and what a great time to take a step back and really look at.
When Angie Reno found herself in the whirlwind of her son's Substance Use Disorder (SUD), she discovered that healing wasn't just about the individual—it was a family affair. In this episode of 'Siblinghood of Recovery', Angie delves into the transformative power of combining family system therapy with Step 2 of the 12-step programs. She highlights how relinquishing control can be a game-changer in the recovery process, not just for those battling addiction but for their loved ones as well.
Angie emphasizes that admitting we're in an insane situation and letting go of our illusion of control can be liberating. She suggests that seeking out 12-step programs like Al-Anon or Families Anonymous, along with licensed therapists, can provide a supportive community and professional guidance. The episode also touches on the concept of enmeshment, where over-involvement in a loved one's life can lead to emotional burnout and strained relationships.
Angie references insightful books like 'The Price of Privilege' and 'The Parallel Process' to illustrate how stepping back can benefit both parents and children. Listeners will find value in Angie's discussion on how understanding family dynamics can shed light on parenting challenges. By working with a licensed therapist, families can explore how their upbringing impacts their current relationships and parenting styles.
Angie’s heartfelt advice encourages self-compassion and curiosity, making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of SUD within their family. Join Angie Reno as she shares practical tips and heartfelt stories that offer hope and guidance on the path to recovery.
