Beskrivelse

Last week I shared my story about how the years of unmanaged stress from my loved one's addiction caused my cortisol to be chronically elevated.   This week I wanted to share some symptoms of chronically elevated cortisol and some tips on how to keep your cortisol regulated.  Maybe try incorporating one of these tools a day ! Remember the goal is never to have cortisol at zero. Cortisol is a beneficial and necessary hormone.    If you missed last week find it here [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/18-i-didnt-know-that-the-stress-of-loving-an/id1870721169?i=1000767550985]   Other episodes related: Episode 16 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/16-exhausted-from-the-chaos-chronic-stress-but-cant/id1870721169?i=1000764265734]   Join the Facebook community [https://www.facebook.com/groups/4289149064641831]

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!
