Description

Dr. Rob and Tami answer questions from listeners about setting healthy boundaries and what that might look like. You should never feel compelled to do something just to appease the other person, especially if they’re on a path to recovery. When you set a boundary, it’s not for them, it’s a way to take care and protect yourself. Dr. Rob and Tmai explain more in this week’s episode.   TAKEAWAYS: [1:00] I want to help my addict hear, but I don’t know how. What can I do to support him?

[9:55] You can’t learn if you aren’t able to make mistakes. [14:10] The only thing you have control of is your actions and reactions.
