Today’s tip on how to help an addicted loved one recover is to smash the myth that you have to have gone through addiction to understand what addiction does to a person and how it feels. Therapists and family members actually can replicate a respectful trust with their addicted loved one and overcoming their struggle, if they know how to connect with them empathetically. So just know that even though you haven’t experienced an addiction yourself, you can replicate this respectful trust with your addicted loved one.
