Supporting a partner with an addiction can be a very challenging journey. Dr. Weiss' prodependence approach revolutionized addiction healthcare by improving the ways we treat loved ones of addicts and other troubled people by offering them more dignity for their suffering rather than blame for the problem. Listen to today's episode to learn more about prodependence.

In this episode with Dr. Rob Weiss, we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

Understanding how the theory of codependency evolved in the psychiatric treatment community
Why the traditional approach to healing for those partnered with an addict may not be healthy
The importance of not shaming someone who is partnered with an addict
How to best support a partner with an addiction
And much more!
