EP43 Why You Feel Rejected Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Healing your own emotional wounds is where the magic is when it comes to your child’s addiction. We’re all responsible for our own healing just like we want our kids to be. When you’re reactive no matter how hard you try not to be, then your child is triggering an emotional wound. The worst part about emotional wounds is we recreate them over and over again with our perception. We all want love, acceptance, and connection but the rejection wound keeps us from getting it. Today I give you 3 steps to heal the rejection wound.

EP41 Interview With My Daughter Helanna Johnson Part 1 Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

This week I got to interview my daughter. You've been hearing my experience of her addiction so I think that it's important to hear what her experience was like. Some of the things we talked about:

· What was it like when I looked to you to be ok to make me feel better instead of me being stable for you?

· What else did I do that wasn’t helpful to you?

· What did I do that was helpful to you?

· Is there anything I could have done differently to help you not struggle with addiction?

· What did you get out of using?

· What made you want to get sober?

· What has relapsing taught you?

· What makes you feel supported in sobriety?

I learned a few new things and had some realizations while listening to her insight and I ended up sharing some things I've never shared before.

EP37 Post Traumatic Growth Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Post traumatic growth is the positive changes that are experienced after a major life crisis or traumatic event. A child's addiction can be a traumatic event in itself, or it can be filled with traumas. Every situation has good and bad in it though. You've certainly experienced the bad, today I would like to open your mind to the good possibilities. I wasn't looking for growth when I found it, I was looking for relief from my suffering. That relief came from tremendous growth and change.

How much time do you spend trying to avoid judgment? Do you live with the burden of shame and secrecy when it comes to your child's addiction? We don't have to tell everyone all of our stories. Not everyone deserves to hear it. There's a big difference between deciding someone doesn't need to know and being afraid they will find out and judge you. Today's episode will help you set yourself free from judgment.
