When you hear people talk about and say things like: he has to really really hit rock bottom- and when I mean bottom I mean bottom- and then you see, people try and set up a situation where they do hit. I'm not enabling that word's so overused anymore.
Ever felt like you're caught in a web of manipulation while dealing with a loved one's addiction? Laurie MacDougall and Annie Highwater, hosts of 'Coming Up for Air', dive into this tricky subject with a mix of personal stories and practical advice. Both mothers of sons in recovery from opiate addiction, Laurie and Annie share their own experiences of being both manipulated and unintentionally manipulative.
They break down how to spot manipulation, whether it's subtle or overt, and offer tips on setting healthy boundaries to protect your emotional well-being. The conversation isn't just about pointing fingers; it's about understanding the dynamics at play and finding ways to foster healthier relationships. Laurie and Annie also emphasize the importance of self-care, reminding listeners that taking care of yourself is crucial when supporting someone through recovery.
Their insights are grounded in the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach, which focuses on improving communication and building bridges with your loved one. If you're navigating the choppy waters of addiction within your family, this episode offers a lifeline of support and understanding. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that aims to empower you with the tools you need to handle manipulation and promote recovery.
