Family guidance

You don't have to carry it alone.

Often, all attention goes to the person with the addiction. With us, you, as a loved one, get support: clear steps for communication, boundaries and safety.

Do you recognise this?

Years in survival mode

Many loved ones adapt for years. Yet you become exhausted, angry, or powerless. While your role makes all the difference: at home, in boundaries, in how you react to stress, use, or relapse.

You are adaptingThe day is all about how the other person is doing.
You cover upTo family, friends and work you keep up appearances.
You are treading on eggshellsEvery conversation can turn, so you might as well keep quiet.
You are trying to have a good conversationAnd you still feel powerless afterwards.

Are you unsure if it's an addiction?

Sometimes it goes well, then it recedes again. The checklist for loved ones helps you to get a clear picture of the situation: in 10 minutes you'll know exactly what you can do today. You request it with your email address.

Ask for the checklist

Concrete

What happens during the accompaniment?

A safe environment in which to share your story, gain insight into the dynamics of addiction, and learn how to protect your own boundaries.

Setting boundaries

You learn where your boundaries lie and how to protect them, without guilt and without losing the relationship.

Breaking patterns

Redden, controleren, verzwijgen: you recognise the patterns that unintentionally perpetuate addiction and learn what actually helps.

Your own recovery

You count too. There is room for your story, your sleep, your energy, and the trust you have lost.

Together or individually

We often start individually and then involve other family members later, at a pace that suits you.

Recovery also begins in the family

Together we will explore patterns and discover new ways to support each other. This way you not only make the relationship healthier, but you also regain peace, strength, and confidence yourself.

Together we take the first step.

Even if your loved one doesn't want help themselves.

Honest answers

Frequently asked questions from loved ones

Can I still come if my loved one isn't in treatment yet?

Yes, precisely then. You don't have to wait until your neighbour accepts help to get support yourself.

Is it individually or together with my family?

Both are possible. We often start individually and then involve other family members, at a pace that suits you.

How much does it cost?

The costs depend on the route. In the initial free, no-obligation consultation, you'll find out exactly where you stand.
