59 - Is it Love or Enabling

Relationship Mastery

Do you find it hard to maintain healthy boundaries with a loved one engaging in destructive behavior? Do you love someone so much that you fear losing them if you were to hold them to the consequences you've given them? If so, you may inadvertently be enabling them. In this week's show, Del and Barry discuss the differences between love and enabling. Enabling involves inadvertently supporting destructive behaviors out of fear or guilt, which hinders personal growth and maintains dependencies. Meanwhile, love embraces accountability and growth and empowers individuals to thrive independently, fostering healthier relationships and personal development.
