So if someone's listening and they're like, oh my gosh, that's me like I'm the one that does the random thing, or always is cracking jokes and can't be serious, and if someone tries to get serious, then I just make more jokes, you know, I double down.
What happens when addiction takes hold of a family? This episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast brings together Zach Crouch, Elizabeth Irias, and Danita Coulter to tackle this pressing question. Elizabeth Irias, a licensed marriage and family therapist, breaks down the complex ways family members adapt to the unpredictable behaviors of a loved one struggling with addiction. From the hero to the scapegoat, each role is explored in depth, shedding light on the often hidden dynamics that can perpetuate dysfunction.
But it's not all about identifying problems; the conversation also steers towards finding solutions and support. Danita Coulter introduces FindHelpNowKY.org, a valuable local resource connecting people with tailored treatment options. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of professional insights and practical advice that could make a real difference.
