We Romanians have a saying that has destroyed more lives than we’d care to admit: ‘don’t wash your dirty linen in public.’ For families facing a loved one’s addiction, this ‘washing’ becomes a daily ritual of concealment, of sugarcoating reality, and of isolation. Shame isn’t just an uncomfortable feeling; in the context of addiction, it becomes the wall that blocks the only path to salvation: professional help
On the surface, it appears to be a relationship based on care, loyalty, and sacrifice. Deep down, however, it can become a complex psychological mechanism that keeps both individuals captive in an emotional vicious cycle. It is not a lack of love, but rather unhealthy relationship patterns that feed into each other.
Behind the desire to “save” the addict is a cocktail of painful feelings and emotions: fear of losing, shame, guilt, and helplessness. The codependent doesn’t actually control anyone; they’re just trying to calm their own panic. They cling to the idea that if they do enough, if they speak convincingly enough, if they forgive again and again, then the addict will stop. But this belief is a trap. Because you can’t control the other person’s consumption.
Intuitive art workshop – when emotions take on color
Atelierul practic Puterea granițelor personale a fost o experiență și o călătorie, pe care am ales să o prezentăm sub forma unui serial. winkA debutat pe data de 11 aprilie cu un „episod pilot” despre care am scris aici. Apoi, a continuat cu încă 3 episoade sub forma unor întâlniri lunare în grupul de suport. Prezentăm, în cele ce urmează, filmul așa cum s-a derulat el. smile
