Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction

EP116 Guilt vs. Truth: One Keeps You Stuck, the Other Sets You Free


Listen Later

Guilt is one of the most common emotions parents face when their child is struggling with addiction, but is it always telling the truth?

In this episode, I’m sharing some personal reflections and hard-won realizations about guilt: how it became my default emotion, how it blocked me from feeling what was actually true, and what happened when I finally stepped out of guilt and into my true emotions that guilt was covering up.

You'll learn:

  • The difference between helpful guilt and default guilt
  • Why guilt keeps you from meeting your needs
  • How guilt dysregulates your nervous system and keeps you stuck
  • A practical 3-step process to work through guilt
  • Why releasing guilt doesn’t mean you’re excusing the past, it means you’re free to grow from it

If guilt has become your constant companion, this episode will help you begin to untangle it from the truth. You don’t have to punish yourself to prove you care.
