FnT 145: How to support a loved one through addiction with Melissa Hiemann

In today’s episode, we talk with Melissa Hiemann, co-founder and director of The Centre for Healing, about addiction as experienced by family members, because beyond the individual struggle, addiction casts a profound shadow on the dynamics of family life. We explore how addiction reshapes relationships, alters communication, and leaves an indelible mark on the family life. We talk about the resilience, courage, and understanding that families need to show, and how these can be maintained without enabling the addiction. In this episode, we go beyond the stigma, offering insights, guidance, and a testament to the unwavering spirit that refuses to be defined by the challenges of addiction. This is a journey of hope, resilience, and the enduring strength of familial bonds—a journey where addiction is not the end of the story; it's a chapter waiting to be rewritten.
