What if, by choosing to believe that more is possible, more dreams can be achieved?
Parenting a child with addiction is a journey fraught with emotional turmoil and uncertainty. Ginny Mills, an addiction specialist and mother of a daughter in recovery, knows this all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny opens up about her struggle with setting low expectations to avoid disappointment. This mindset, she realized, not only limited her own growth but also sent a message to her daughter that she didn't believe in her potential.
Ginny's story is one of transformation. She discusses how she learned to break free from this cycle and began to believe in the possibilities for herself and her daughter. Through positive self-talk, journaling, and open conversations about dreams and aspirations, Ginny found a new way to support her daughter's recovery. This episode is a beacon of hope for parents who feel trapped by their own limiting beliefs.
Ginny offers practical advice on how to shift your mindset and start believing in more, not just for your child but for yourself as well. By fostering a supportive environment where dreams are encouraged, parents can help their children—and themselves—achieve greater things. The episode also highlights the resources available through Parenting Through Addiction, including educational videos, treatment center information, group support, and private consultations. Ginny emphasizes the importance of community and shared experiences in navigating the challenges of addiction.
Whether you're at the beginning of this journey or well along the path, Ginny's insights offer valuable support and encouragement. Tune in to discover how raising your expectations can lead to transformative changes for both you and your child.
