Tough love means that you love someone so much that you can't continue to watch them hurt or harm themselves. And so sometimes it's easy for people to say tough love is just I'm going to shut you out and nothing matters. Really tough love is saying, I can't be a part of this right now, but I do love you probably more than you even know.
Imagine facing the daunting task of overcoming addiction while also grappling with mental health issues. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', hosts Bill Arnold and George Fraser sit down with Renae Danberry, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor at Christian Family Solutions, to tackle this very challenge. Renae brings a wealth of experience and compassion to the table, discussing how mental health and addiction are often intertwined and must be treated with equal dedication.
She emphasizes the importance of addressing both aspects simultaneously to achieve lasting recovery. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that highlight the transformative power of faith-based recovery programs. Renae shares insights into the unique approach at Christian Family Solutions, where faith and professional support come together to create a holistic treatment plan.
The conversation also delves into the delicate balance of tough love and stepping back, a struggle many parents face when supporting rebellious or troubled youth. Renae's anecdotes offer a glimpse into the real-life challenges and triumphs of those on their recovery journey, making this episode a beacon of hope for anyone affected by addiction or mental health issues.
Whether you're on your own path to recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the intersection of faith and mental health, this episode provides valuable perspectives and encouragement.
