What happens when the shadows of an alcoholic parent loom over your childhood? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Szifra Birke, the author of 'Together We Heal: A Real-Life Portrait of Group Therapy'. Szifra brings her wealth of experience as a licensed therapist to discuss the unique challenges faced by adult children of alcoholics.
From the responsible child to the scapegoat, she breaks down the different roles these individuals often take on within their families. This conversation doesn't just stop at identifying the issues; it dives into practical steps for setting boundaries, seeking treatment, and taking personal responsibility for one's recovery. You'll also hear about Westbridge, a nonprofit organization that supports families dealing with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders.
Whether you're an adult child of an alcoholic or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Tune in to understand how to navigate these complex family dynamics and find a path to healing.
