Balancing Emotions: Finding Strength Amidst Your Child's Addiction

Negative emotions have a purpose. Each one is bringing you an important message. When you know what your negative emotions are trying to tell you, then you can work through them instead of trying to avoid them.
Ever feel like you should always be happy, especially when dealing with your child's addiction? Heather Ross understands that struggle and brings a refreshing perspective in this episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction'. She dives into the concept that life is a mix of 50% positive and 50% negative emotions, and that's completely normal. Heather's approach is all about recognizing the purpose behind those negative feelings rather than avoiding them.
Each emotion, she explains, carries a message that can help you move forward if you take the time to understand it. In this episode, Heather guides parents through the tough process of acknowledging and working through their emotions, emphasizing that it's okay to not be okay all the time. She also touches on the importance of grieving and finding acceptance in unexpected situations.
If you're looking for practical advice on how to balance your emotions while supporting your child through addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
