In this podcast, we examine the issues surrounding our own reluctance to take the right action in intervention out of confusion as to what detachment means.

We learn that:

  1. The addict has their own logic, and it is not logical to us. Addiction does not make sense in the conventional sense. This is why it is so baffling to so many.
  2. Detachment is confused with inaction, which is the furthest thing from the truth. Detachment means having a clear-headed idea of what the right action needs to be.
  3. Many in addictive relationships have lost sight of the difference between what they can change and what they cannot. Learned helplessness is a conditioned response that happens when we do not closely examine what's possible and what is not.
  4. Making it a moral issue will take us further in the right direction, as we must ask ourselves this: are we acting out of fear, or out of courage; are we acting out of anger, or out of love?
