Episode 148: Addiction - Loving Without Enabling: Supporting Someone Through Addiction
Loving Without Enabling: Supporting Someone Through Addiction
In this episode of their series on addiction, Joseph and Paula focus on enabling—one of the most misunderstood and emotionally complex dynamics surrounding substance use. Because addiction remains highly stigmatized, this conversation is rooted in providing clarity, compassion, and accurate information rather than blame.
The hosts explore the structural necessity for addiction to be enabled and examine how enabling addiction stabilizes the addiction just enough to prevent change.
