Tana’s life had seemed to finally find some stable ground when a fateful late-night phone call brought along yet another helping of chaos.

While it seemed to be another one of life’s setbacks, this sequence of events turned out to be one of the most healing of all. Why Drawing and Maintaining Boundaries is So Important It’s no secret that helping others is one of the most effective ways for YOU to feel happier. Yet sometimes the act of helping someone else can become incredibly complicated, leaving you exhausted and wondering if it’s worth the effort. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen describe the frustration that can set in when your efforts don’t seem to be making a difference in someone else’s life, and why setting and maintaining boundaries can be so helpful. When Unconditional Love Isn’t Enough No one ever said parenting was an easy job. There’s a lot of work that goes into helping kids grow into functioning, stable adults, and as referenced in this week’s highlighted story from Tana Amen’s new book, sometimes even unconditional love isn’t enough. Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen draw on one of the most dramatic stories from “The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child” to illustrate how hard a child’s life can be when addiction is present in the household, as well as what happened when the Amens were unexpectedly thrown into parent/caretaker roles for someone else’s children. Tana’s Tips for Dealing with an Addiction in the Family Addiction played a major role in shaping Tana Amen into the woman she is today. Yet interestingly, none of these addictions were her own. Rather they were the addictions of those closest to her. In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Tana and Dr. Daniel Amen give you some of their best, most practical tips for handling an addiction in the family.
