We don't want to see our children struggle. So it's natural that we want to bail them out, throw out to the listeners some warning signs that perhaps their loved one is too attached to them.
Imagine having dreams and goals but feeling stuck, unable to move forward. This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast tackles the often-overlooked issue of 'Failure to Launch Syndrome' among young people in recovery. Hosted by Heather Volson, this conversation features Michael Herbert and Dr. Chipley, both experts in working with at-risk youth. They dive into why some young adults, despite their best intentions, struggle to live independently and take charge of their lives.
The episode sheds light on how these young people often find themselves making excuses and failing to complete simple tasks, which can be frustrating for both them and their families. It’s not just about addiction; it’s about the emotional maturity and self-esteem issues that go hand-in-hand with it. The discussion also touches on the rising trend of mental health diagnoses among teenagers in recovery, many of whom are on psychotropic medications while experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Michael and Dr.
Chipley emphasize the importance of providing support without enabling dependency. They talk about how crucial structure and routine are for young people trying to break free from addiction. Parents and caregivers play a vital role here, offering support while encouraging independence. This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone supporting a young person in recovery. From recognizing warning signs of emotional attachment issues to understanding the need for patience and honesty, it’s a guide for navigating this challenging journey.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone in recovery yourself, this episode offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear an engaging discussion that’s as informative as it is compassionate. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand the complexities of youth addiction and the struggle to launch into adulthood.
