The power and strength of the family to motivate generational change through their own changed behaviour is unparalleled.
As a family member, your health and wellness are impacted by those you love and those around you. However, your health and wellness are not dependent on them. Taking the first steps to improve your health and wellness can start anytime, even if your loved one is not ready to seek support for their Substance Use Disorder (SUD).
As humans, our ability to support others is closely tied to how well we care for ourselves. The constant worry, walking on eggshells, and stress associated with witnessing someone we care about in active addiction is an emotional and traumatic experience. When this trauma becomes chronic, we often sacrifice our values, needs, and emotional well-being while we care for our family members. This sacrifice – knowingly and unknowingly – stirs up many emotions, leading to both positive and negative coping behaviours.
At Legacy West Healing, we understand the complexity of SUD, the impacts on family dynamics, trauma (and trauma responses), and the benefits of prioritizing one’s own health and wellness. We know firsthand how vital it is to care for ourselves in order to care for those around us.
For this reason, our services are designed to provide support in adopting healthy behaviours and leveraging our innate (and hidden) strengths. We shift the focus from trying to control others to healing ourselves, which leads to greater life enjoyment and happiness. Our approach fosters a renewed sense of self, reduces physical and mental health concerns, and enhances intimacy and connection in all meaningful relationships. We focus on healing, wellness, and transforming the family system for today and future generations. We focus on you.
