When your loved one relapses, it feels like the ground gives way beneath you—again. You might wonder: Did we miss something? Did we fail? Is there any hope left? In this episode of Get Unhooked for Families, we challenge the panic and shame that so often accompany relapse and offer a new lens to see what it really means.

You’ll hear how relapse isn’t the end—it’s often the turning point. Jason and the team explore how relapse can resolve ambivalence, why it’s a natural (though painful) part of the process, and how families can respond in a way that promotes healing, not control.

If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or defeated, this episode will help you step off the emotional rollercoaster—and step into peace, clarity, and purpose.

Highlights Include:

  • The unexpected value of relapse on the path to recovery
  • Two surrender processes: the individual’s and the family’s
  • Why doing “everything right” doesn’t always bring the results you hoped for
  • What to celebrate (even now), and what to let go of
  • The difference between boundaries and control—with real-world examples

🎧 Listen in to find out why your response matters more than you think—and how to find peace even when things feel messy.
