When someone you love is struggling with addiction—or even navigating early recovery—it’s easy to feel powerless, confused, and emotionally drained. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how family members can care for themselves while showing up in a healthy way for their loved one. Together, we’ll look at personal patterns that often stem from childhood and parental experiences, and how those patterns may shape the way we relate today. Participants will be invited to open up, share, and connect in a safe space as we explore forgiveness—for others and for ourselves. You’ll leave with practical tools for setting compassionate boundaries, recognizing your own emotional reactions, and beginning to release the heaviness of the past so you can engage from a place of strength, clarity, and love.
