Ever wondered why some people struggle more than others with sobriety? This episode of 'Healing Families Shattered by Addiction' dives into the reality of multiple relapses and the importance of compassion over judgment. Hosts Di McQueen and Dr. Brian Jackson share their experiences and insights, discussing why trauma impacts recovery differently for everyone. They explore the delicate balance between compassion and boundaries, emphasising that there's no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to healing.
Di opens up about her personal journey, revealing how she learned to separate her professional role from personal responsibility. She stresses the importance of meeting individuals where they are and trying various techniques to support their unique recovery paths. Whether you're supporting a loved one or on your own recovery journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights on how to foster a supportive environment without enabling destructive behaviour.
Di and Brian remind us that each person's path unfolds at its own pace, and judgment has no place in someone's healing journey. Tune in to understand why compassion is key to helping someone heal and how setting boundaries can protect your well-being while supporting others.
