Today we’re talking about boundaries, which can oftentimes be an uncomfortable topic for those who are a family member of someone who is struggling with addiction.
When families come to us for help with a loved one who is struggling, defining and communicating boundaries are not only the most critical pieces to the puzzle but the most difficult to uphold. However, it is crucial that we change the way we behave and break old habits around our boundaries in order for everybody to heal.
In today’s episode, we’re discussing the role of boundaries, how to set them, how to protect them, and what to do when these boundaries are challenged.
