How do you support a loved one struggling with addiction without unintentionally making things worse? In this episode, Dr. William Nelson and Robin Cote tackle this tricky question. They dive into the story of the Emperor Moth, a powerful metaphor for understanding the fine line between helping and hindering someone in recovery.
You'll hear about the importance of allowing individuals to struggle just enough to grow stronger, much like the moth that needs to fight its way out of the cocoon to develop its wings. Dr. Nelson and Robin discuss practical strategies for offering support that empowers rather than enables. They also share real-life examples and expert advice on how to navigate this emotional journey.
Whether you're a family member, friend, or someone working in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights into fostering true independence and resilience in those you care about.
