We always talk about the addict, but we never talk about the families and the significant others of addicts who are traumatized and who are angry, who are enablers or codependents.
Ever wondered how addiction impacts those who aren't struggling with substance abuse themselves? In this episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano sits down with life coach Beth Gardener to explore the often-overlooked challenges faced by non-addicts. They dive into heavy topics like codependency, toxic shame, and manipulation that arise in relationships with addicts. Beth offers a unique perspective on how non-addicts can heal and find their footing again.
She emphasizes the importance of therapy and life coaching, stressing that every individual's healing journey is different and requires personalized support. The conversation is not just informative but deeply compassionate, shedding light on the emotional toll addiction takes on families and friends. If you're someone who loves a person struggling with addiction, or you know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for finding your way through the maze of emotions and challenges.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that prioritizes the well-being of those who stand by their loved ones through thick and thin.
