episode 18/ I Didn't Know That The Stress of Loving An Addict Was Changing My Body... cover

Description

Years of chronic stress, during my loved one's addiction struggles not only led me feeling overwhelmed, and exhausted, but I did not know that a lot of the reason for this was because I was not supporting my body.    I began to experience emotional and physical changes in my body due to a dysregulated nervous system and chronically elevated cortisol.

24/ Why Setting Boundaries With An Addict Can Feel So Guilty (And Why That Doesn't Mean You're Wrong)

If you love someone struggling with an addiction, setting boundaries can feel incredibly uncomfortable and stressful. You may know deep down that you need to protect your peace, stop overwhelming yourself, or step out of the constant cycle of rescuing... but the moment you do , guilt shows up.    Why?    In this episode, we're talking about why guilt often follows boundary setting- especially when you've spent so much time prioritizing someone else's needs over your own.   You'll learn why feeling guilty does not automatically mean you're doing something wrong.   Boundaries are a form of self care. You are worth prioritizing your health, wellness,  emotional wellbeing and your peace!   Get extra support here!
