For decades, family members of addicts have been labeled codependent, often criticized for their unwavering support. But what if their dedication wasn’t dysfunction, but rather an act of love? In this compelling episode, host Pam Feinberg-Rivkin sits down with Dr. Robert Weiss, renowned therapist, author, and Chief Clinical Officer of Seeking Integrity, to challenge the long-held stigma surrounding caregivers of addicts. Dr. Weiss introduces Prodependence, a revolutionary approach that shifts the narrative from blame to validation, recognizing the resilience and devotion of those who stand by their loved ones through addiction.
Together, they explore the deep emotional toll addiction takes on families, the damaging misconceptions around codependency, and the crucial role of community and self-care in the healing process. Dr. Weiss offers profound insights into how therapists, treatment centers, and society at large can transform the way we support both addicts and their families. If you've ever felt judged for loving someone through their struggles, this episode will inspire you to see yourself—and your journey—through a whole new lens.
