Self-care is the best way to heal.
Imagine being asked to volunteer with a group of lively four-year-olds at church, only to find yourself counting down the minutes until it's over. Host Michelle Anderson shares this personal story in this episode of 'Love Over Addiction' to highlight the importance of setting boundaries. Michelle, a mother of six, knows firsthand that working with young children isn't her calling, and she doesn't feel guilty about it.
This is a boundary she's set for herself, and it's one she encourages others to consider, especially when loving someone with addiction. Boundaries are crucial for everyone, but they become even more vital when you're in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction. Michelle talks about the necessity of surrendering the urge to 'fix' the addict and instead accepting addiction as a disease.
By shifting your focus from trying to control the uncontrollable to practicing self-compassion and self-care, you can reclaim your peace of mind. Michelle also introduces her 'Love Over Way' courses, specifically 'Love Over Boundaries', which offers practical tools for women to set and enforce boundaries. These courses provide a supportive framework for those navigating the challenges of loving someone with addiction.
Additionally, Michelle highlights the Seeker Facebook group, a community where women who have taken or are currently taking the courses can share their experiences and find support. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and personal anecdotes aimed at helping you maintain your well-being while loving someone with addiction. If you're looking for ways to set healthy boundaries and practice self-care, this episode is for you.
