Actions of our addicted loved ones are not those of responsible adults. They appear to live according to their emotional age, not their actual age.
Ever wondered why your loved one might seem emotionally stuck? In this episode of 'Pal with Michelle', host Michelle Weidenbenner dives into the puzzling world of delayed emotional growth in those battling addiction. Drawing from her own experience as a mother of a recovering addict, Michelle breaks down the traits and causes of this emotional delay and offers practical advice on how to guide your loved one towards healthier habits and morals.
She explains that while addiction itself is often diagnosed, the underlying emotional immaturity can be harder to spot but is crucial to address for long-term recovery. Michelle shares heartfelt insights from her journey, emphasizing the importance of hope and resilience even when change seems painful and slow. She encourages listeners to find joy in their own lives, suggesting that personal happiness can be a powerful tool in supporting a loved one's growth.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent or caregiver seeking to understand and assist their emotionally delayed loved ones on the path to recovery.
