Someone's got to make it clear that this behavior does not work for me and, like I said, you've got to change it or I'm going to change it.
Do you sometimes feel like your efforts to help a loved one might be doing more harm than good? In this episode of 'Everyday Addict', Brian Ario dives into the tricky waters of enabling behaviors. Brian sheds light on how actions that seem supportive, like bailing someone out of trouble or taking on their responsibilities, can actually hinder their recovery journey.
He doesn't just stop at identifying these behaviors; he also explores the emotional reasons behind them, such as fear of consequences or a desire to keep the peace. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Brian offers practical advice on how to break these patterns by setting clear boundaries and sticking to them.
He emphasizes that real support involves allowing loved ones to face the natural consequences of their actions, which can be a tough but necessary step towards genuine recovery. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips to help you make a positive impact. Tune in and learn how to be truly helpful in your loved one's recovery journey.
