For Loved Ones & Families
Empowering Families on the Journey to Healing
You're Here
Because You Care
Watching someone you love struggle with addiction, depression, or any form of emotional suffering can be overwhelming. You’ve likely tried everything – offering support, setting boundaries, seeking advice, maybe even stepping in to fix things – only to feel exhausted, powerless, or disconnected.
You may have lost sight of your own well-being if you’ve found yourself constantly focused on helping them. The truth is, healing is not just for them – it’s for you, too.
This page is for parents, partners, siblings, and friends who feel caught in the storm of a loved one’s struggles. Whether they are in recovery, still in active addiction, or even unwilling to accept help, your healing and understanding can transform the dynamic between you.
Why Your
Healing Matters
Many families assume that recovery is only about the person struggling with addiction or mental health issues. But that’s never the full picture. Your loved one isn’t suffering in isolation – their pain, their patterns, and their choices ripple outward and affect everyone around them.
Likewise, our emotions, reactions, and unresolved struggles shape the relationship. Feeling consumed by worry, resentment, or helplessness doesn’t just impact us – it affects how we show up for the person we love.
The Infinite Recovery approach is different. We work with individuals in recovery and guide families through their own transformation.
- If you've been waiting for them to change so you can feel better, what if it was the other way around?
- If you've been consumed by trying to help them, what if the most powerful thing you could do is turn inward and focus on your healing first?
- If you've been carrying resentment, fear, or exhaustion, what if you could finally find relief - regardless of where your loved one is on their journey?
This isn’t about fixing them; It’s about finding peace within yourself and learning a way forward that doesn’t revolve around your choices.
The Family Healing Process
We are developing a Family Programme designed specifically for loved ones. You don’t need your struggling family member to participate for you to start your journey.
For those whose loved ones are already engaging in the Infinite Recovery process, this programme will deepen your understanding and help rebuild trust, connection, and communication.
For those whose loved ones are not yet in recovery, this work can still be profoundly healing and life-changing – for you and them.
Many families discover that shifting their perspectives, emotional responses and ways of communicating naturally influences their loved ones in a way that no pressure or persuasion ever could.
You Don't Have to
Do This Alone
The work we do with families has helped 100s of parents, siblings, and partners navigate addiction, depression, anxiety, and even suicide risk.
We offer:
- A dedicated Family Programme (coming soon - subscribe for updates)
- 1:1 guidance for those seeking personalised support
- Group support in a safe, compassionate environment
If you are feeling lost, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted, you are not alone. You are just as deserving of support as your loved one.
Mini Case Study:
A Parent's Healing Journey
Sarah came to us feeling utterly drained. Her teenage son, Daniel, had struggled with severe anxiety and addiction for years. She had tried everything – therapy, tough love, emotional support, setting ultimatums – but nothing seemed to work. Over time, Daniel became distant, withdrawn, and resentful of her attempts to help.
Through our work together, Sarah started to turn her focus inward. Instead of trying to “fix” Daniel, she began exploring her emotional responses – her fears, her need for control, and the deep pain of feeling like she was failing as a parent.
The hardest part was learning to accept her discomfort instead of making Daniel’s recovery her full-time mission.
As Sarah’s perspective shifted, so did her relationship with Daniel. She stopped trying to convince him to change and focused on being present, listening, and working through her emotions. Daniel slowly started reaching out, sharing, and opening up in ways he hadn’t before without the usual pressure.
Their bond – once strained and distant – began to heal.
The biggest lesson? When we heal, it creates space for others to heal, too.
