Is this you?

You worry that you will make the wrong parenting decisions and your child might relapse as a result.
You feel different than so many other parents you know, isolated and alone.
You’re exhausted and on the verge of burning out.
You’re reading books and articles like crazy, watching Youtube videos, joining all kinds of groups, taking notes upon notes, and still feel at a loss.
You’ve been told not to blame yourself, but sometimes you can’t help it.
You’ve been told your powerless, but you’re not sure that makes sense.
You want to be done nagging, lecturing, micromanaging, overcompensating, and all of the other approaches you know don’t work.
You’re scared to even talk to your child sometimes.

Imagine this instead!

You regularly have healthy conversations with your adult child that foster mutual understanding and clarity.
You move through life with confidence that you can handle the ups and downs of the recovery process and that when you struggle, you know exactly where to go for support.
You are clear on the distinction between helping and enabling, and you are also clear on why you are still tempted at times to enable anyway.
You have a daily source of positivity, encouragement, and tangible guidance at your disposal.
You have the strength to change old patterns and stop yourself from enabling.
You set boundaries…and you stick to them.
You have real connections with other parents who understand your struggles like no one else can.
You feel a sense of purpose and direction as you help your child recover and thrive.

About Jessica Ponn

I am a licensed clinician and recovery coach, specializing in helping individuals with addiction and mental health conditions as well as their loved ones. I have been practicing in this field for over 15 years, and as time goes on, my passion only grows stronger. It is deeply important to me that I make a difference in the lives of those suffering with these illnesses, as I have tremendous empathy for the devastating pain that they cause.

My focus is on supporting parents of adult children who are in active addiction or in early recovery. Often times, it is parents who suffer even more than their children do, and they need just as much guidance and encouragement. In many cases, I have found that parents do not realize how crucial they are to their child’s success, and have not yet utilized their influence in the most effective ways possible.
