Self care is putting your needs above others' wants.
Imagine trying to help a loved one battling addiction but feeling like you're constantly hitting a wall. Lance is back on the Red Roof Recovery show to offer a fresh perspective for family members in this tough situation. Often, the inquiries received are from those trying to support their loved ones through the turmoil of addiction. The harsh truth? Sometimes, there's little you can do to change their path. But what you can do is focus on helping yourself first.
In this episode, you'll learn about the PIUS tool—a game-changer for improving your communication skills. It's all about helping rather than hindering your loved one's recovery journey. Tanya McIntyre, a specialist in cognitive behavioural therapy, shares insights into the power of self-care and setting personal intentions. 'Self-care is putting your needs above others' wants', she says, driving home the importance of prioritising your well-being.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how to effectively support a loved one struggling with addiction while maintaining their own mental health. Tune in and discover how focusing on what you can control can make all the difference.
