1. Claim one daily ritual just for you.
Even a quiet cup of coffee or five minutes of fresh air helps reset your nervous system.

2. Limit constant monitoring.
You donā€™t need to stay on high alert all day to be a loving parent.

3. Protect your bedtime routine.
No news, phone, or problem solving conversations/thinking late at night- choose calming, predictable wind-down habits.

4. Practice emotional boundaries.
You can care about others without trying to match their fear, drama, or stresses.

5. Get support where you donā€™t have to explain yourself.
Burnout thrives in isolation and secrecy; relief begins with being understood without being given anxious, unsolicited advice from others who haven't been in your shoes.

šŸ©¶ Save this for later and start implementing these today šŸŒ±

Does this hit a little too close to home? šŸ¤£

I apologize for the dark humor, but do I have your attention now? If you're an anxious mom struggling to figure out how to help your addicted adult child, I see you: The sleepless nights, the chronic health issues, the tightness in your chest that just won't go away...the fears are endless.

I help moms who have been to every support group, every specialist, and maybe even seen a few therapists, but still don't feel they've gotten answers.

I help anxious parents figure out ways to remain grounded, set boundaries, and make it more likely that their loved one will recover (this is evidence-based therapy!).

Sound familiar? Has your therapist given you this face before?

I say this with a dash of dark humor and compassion!

When a client presents like this, my first questions have to do with sleep, rest, and relaxation. When we love someone with addiction, we often get stuck in ā€œfixerā€ mode. Itā€™s also described as ā€œfightā€ or ā€œfawnā€.

They tell me, if they just find the ā€œrightā€ way to say it, the ā€œrightā€ time, and the ā€œrightā€ intervention, their loved one will finally get sober. Often, it's a fantasy.

This isnā€™t to say that I advise my clients to always do ā€œtough loveā€. Whatā€™s often hard to see when youā€™re in the throes of a loved oneā€™s addiction (aka your own codependency) is that things are rarely black and white. The dysfunction between you isn't all their fault, or all your fault. Thereā€™s not just one solution. But, the trauma of addiction makes our field of vision small. As a therapist, I see my job as one to widen your view. We can practice that through nervous system regulation, education about addiction and family dynamics, and evidence-based care.

If you want to know how I can help, contact me today for a free consultation- link in bio. Odds are, youā€™re really good at fixing things. But if this has ben going on for a while, itā€™s not a matter of whether you have the energy- itā€™s about whether you are using the right tools šŸ”— Click the link in bio to schedule a FREE 15 minute phone consultation with me. I provide weekly, highly specialized family addiction therapy to individuals, couples,and families who are ready to break the cycle for good, and have tried everything else. šŸ©¶

ā„ļø Oftentimes, we place our peace last. The adult child knows the pain we're feeling. Or, they're so "out of it", that they actually believe our irrational fear that we caused, can control, or can cure their disease.

The only things we can do are to: learn to be emotionally grounded, function appropriately (not enable, and not avoid), and love them.

If you're ready to interrupt the painful cycle with behaviors that make it more likely for both you, your family, and your addicted child to recover- for good- contact me today for a free therapy consultation šŸ©¶

How many grey hairs have you accumulated trying to ā€œfixā€ your addicted adult child? How many crises have you intervened in to ensure they didnā€™t feel pain? How many times did you sacrifice your own well-being to keep them ā€œin the gameā€ (school, work, with their romantic partner, etc.)? How many lawyers have you paid for for them? How many times did you say ā€˜yesā€™ when you wanted to say ā€˜noā€™- abandoning any semblance of your needs? How many times do you wonder if your behavior is enabling or parenting?

How many of you think thereā€™s one clear answer about how you should handle a relationship with an addicted adult child? How many of you are feeling rage, shame, resentment, or a panic attack coming on as you read this?

Iā€™m a therapist for parents who have an addicted adult child and want to finally feel like you're increasing the chances your loved one will get sober?!

My name is Ayla and I'm a therapist specializing in helping parent finally make decisions that actually feel RIGHT. Not for me, not what other people think you should do, but what's right for YOUR FAMILY- and is actually evidence (research, science) based.

Are you always thinking the next book will get your loved one sober and you just havenā€™t found the ā€œrightā€ technique yet?

If so, I challenge you to try therapy with me- because Iā€™ve been there too. I have been an adult child and partner of someone with addiction issues and I can share hard learned lessons with you..

What's the secret? It starts with you. One of the hardest things to do, when you love someone with addiction, is to focus on how YOU show up in the relationship, and how YOU contribute to the dynamics. The shame and resentment when you start to take responsibility for self? Unbearable. The alternative? Always wondering if there was something else you couldā€™ve done.

Itā€™s no surprise that focusing on you is one of the most difficult things a loved one can do- because when you turn for a second to focus on you, it feels like even more danger than trying to control and monitor your loved oneā€™s every move. Ignoring your own anger, resentment, action, needs, and rest keeps things ā€œsafeā€. Focusing on processing your own stuff in therapy (aka, finally being able to regulate your body and mind) feels like the anger will get out of control, youā€™ll need to permanently cut them off to feel better, rest feels like danger, and needs feel like a distraction from helping them avoid certain death- but,itā€™s often the only way to escape the chaos and be a grounding force for yourself and your loved one- things necessary to the family addiction system to finally allow for CHANGE (and find sobriety).

If this resonates, youā€™re in the right place.

Even if the rest of your family isnā€™t on board yet, thatā€™s okay. You are. And thatā€™s the first step. And, Iā€™ll be with you ever step of the way to help learn, grow, and heal- for both the benefit of you, your family, and your addicted loved one.

The fact that this is an evidence based therapy makes it more likely that both you and your loved one will recover.

I am a therapist for individuals and couples who have tried everything to get their loved one sober. Including hiring some interventionists who told you to lock your loved one out of the house (and made your parent instincts go insane). Trying to figure out how to help your loved one (for years) while theyā€™re blaming you for doing everything wrong can be CRAZY-making. I help people who have begun to question their every move; who have become obsessed with them getting ā€œbetterā€. ā€œNormalā€? At least. you want them to do the things your friendsā€™ kids are doing: Go to college, hold a job, hang out with friends, have a healthy romantic relationship. But unfortunately, it doesnā€™t seem like itā€™s in the cards.

This isnā€™t to shame (youā€™re often suffering just as much as your loved one): But the most painful thing is that most parents donā€™t see the power they do have, to support their loved oneā€™s recovery journey. I have studied family dynamics in addicted families for many years and I help people with practical tips to break the cycle. Hint: It has nothing to do with controlling your loved one, alanon, or coda (although I believe those are pieces to the puzzle, theyā€™re not the whole story). I believe (and follow an evidence-based practice) that your healing journey starts with you and ends with you- because thatā€™s the only thing you truly have control over.

Most people will scroll by this post because theyā€™re still looking for ā€œthe cureā€. I get it. I was there for 20+ years.

Would you be open to trying something different? I offer free consultations so you can learn more about Bowen family systems theory and how I use it to coach individuals, couples, and families finally heal for good. Because itā€™s evidence-based, and it actually makes it more likely that your loved one will also recover. What have you got to lose? Itā€™s free! šŸ’ø And maybe this time, the money will actually be worth jt. Schedule your free 15 minute phone consult with me today- link in bio šŸ©¶ šŸ”—

This page is for you if:

šŸ’” Youā€™re spending another WFH day trying to get your addicted loved one sober.

šŸ’”Youā€™ve read more self-help books about addiction than experts with a PhD have

šŸ’” You still feel like thereā€™s a book out there thatā€™ll give you ā€œthe answerā€

šŸ’” Your physical health (let alone mental) has taken a nosedive since your child started using- and youā€™re ensure youā€™ll ever come back from it

Youā€™re in the right place. I also spent years of heartbreak watching my addicted loved one use.

The only thing that helped (btw, I became a licensed addiction counselor and have a bajillion certifications and training under my belt) was me becoming grounded and dealing with my own stuff. Therapy for you isnā€™t a cop out. This is evidence-based therapy that makes it significantly more likely that both you and your loved one will recover.

This page is for you if you are feeling so distraught in your relationship with your addicted adult child that you don't want to be in it anymore...

If you cycle between believing you have found the "one thing" that'll cure their disease, and then secretly fantasize about them no longer being in your life.

If you desperately beg, shame, research, and bargain to try and get them to stop using...

If all you can focus on is their potential and keep forgetting how horrific their actions were yesterday.

If you freeze when they start going off on you (for the 5th time this week) and try to fix instead of speak to the process or hold boundaries...

If you lose sleep, pray, scream, and eat breathe and sleep trying to "figure them out".

This page is for you.

Being addicted to hope that they'll change vs. doing the boundaries work yourself can be JUST that- addicting! I've been there. The dopamine rollercoaster hit we get each time we see progress is depleting, causes chronic illness, and often even makes them worse off (to say the least).

I help highly anxious parents cycling through hopefulness, control, and anger finally find peace that lasts...and make it much more likely that your loved one will find peace and wellness, too.

If it sounds too good to be true, to find out more, schedule a free fit call with me via link in bio. I meet with parents weekly so they can finally get therapy that actually works. If you've tried everything else, this is your sign- schedule a free call with me via šŸ”— in bio

This hurts. I know the heartbreak of loving someone with addiction. When will they hit rock bottom? When will they see the havoc theyā€™ve created? When will they finally let you get a break and take care of you for once? I work with parents of addicted adult children. I have spent 10+ years exploring different techniques. I am a mother myself. I know that feeling you have to take care of your child forever is not the ā€˜natural order of thingsā€™. And I know practical steps you can take to make it likelier that both you and your child will heal for good. If youā€™re interested to learn more, click the link in my bio to schedule a free phone consultation. If weā€™re a good fit, weā€™ll get started on weekly sessions right away, until you can finally breathe again šŸ’” This is for moms who are ready for a change (and dads, too)
