Enabling is when we do something for somebody else that they should, could and would do for themselves if we weren't standing in the way by helping right, by helping you know, and basically it's just real clear, it's really abusive behavior.
Have you ever thought that your well-meaning help might actually be causing harm? Vince and Jeanna tackle this tough topic in an eye-opening episode of 'Now Sober Podcasts'. They explore how our desire to support loved ones can sometimes morph into enabling, and eventually, abuse. This isn't just about doing too much for someone; it's about understanding when our actions cross the line from helpful to harmful.
They break down the concept of enabling, discussing its different forms and the damage it can inflict on both the enabler and the person being enabled. Through personal stories and expert advice, they shed light on why we enable and how difficult it can be to stop. They also introduce the five freedoms by Virginia Satir, a tool to help listeners regain control over their lives.
Vince and Jeanna share their own experiences with enabling, highlighting its impact on their self-esteem and self-worth. The episode also emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care. If you're struggling with enabling behaviors or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to transform your good intentions into genuinely supportive actions.
