In The Circle

92. How Can I Support Friends and Family In Addiction While Respecting Boundaries?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m privileged to be joined by Ellen, who brings us a powerful inquiry that will open a conversation about the family dynamics of addiction. Ellin asks: How can I support friends and family in addiction while respecting boundaries? 

Whenever one person in a family struggles with addiction, the entire family is at risk of falling into an addictive and unhealthy dynamic.

In this episode, we’ll be diving into topics like codependency, and family boundaries, and exploring ways to support those we love who may be caught in the cycle of addiction.

Just as individuals face the challenges of addiction, so do families. Join us as we delve into the vital role that personal recovery can play in healing the family as a whole.

Tommy Discusses:

  • How to inspire our children - at any age 
  • Understanding our sphere of influence over others
  • Examining motives behind the desire to change someone’s behavior
  • Setting healthy boundaries
