For Partners: Loving Someone Who’s Struggling
Loving someone with an addiction can be incredibly painful. You may feel angry, exhausted, worried, or confused. You might swing between hope and heartbreak - wondering how to support them without losing yourself.
You’re not alone. This kind of love can come with grief, boundaries, guilt, and fierce loyalty. And it’s okay to need your own space to process what’s happening.
In counselling, we make space for your story - not just theirs.
What support can look like for you:
Understanding the impact of addiction on your nervous system and relationships
Learning to set boundaries without shame or blame
Reconnecting with your own needs, values, and wellbeing
Exploring how to stay connected while protecting your peace
Validating your experience as real, complex, and worthy of care
This isn’t about giving up or fixing someone else - it’s about supporting you to feel steady again, no matter where your loved one is on their journey.
You matter too.
