Balancing Act: Supporting Loved Ones in Treatment While Caring for Yourself

And what we're doing is slowing things down, increasing the toolbox that you have to choose from, the bag of tricks that you have to choose from, and then, as you gain awareness, as you become more conscious, as the things that have been buried deep inside of you rise to awareness, which is sometimes very disturbing, by the way, but that's the work- is that you bring up these disturbing things from your past, from the past, with this person, from your own life, and then work it through and take it apart and see it while it's happening, before it's happening after it's happening.
When a loved one battles addiction, it’s easy to get lost in their struggle and forget about your own well-being. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', sponsored by AlliesinRecovery.net, the hosts continue their conversation about the intricate dance between family involvement and treatment. They dive into the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and the role of functional analysis in understanding and reducing risky situations.
The discussion also touches on the emotional toll of anxiety and fear on family members and how group support can be a lifeline. One of the standout points is the power of slowing down and gaining awareness to make more informed decisions. The hosts also remind us that it’s okay to say no to treatment providers and that changing one’s behavior can be a catalyst for growth.
If you’re seeking practical advice on becoming an effective ally while maintaining your own mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to balance supporting your loved one with taking care of yourself.
