After a bit of a hiatus, we are back with a brand new episode of the Consumer's Guide to Mental Health podcast! In this episode, Dr. Margo Jacquot sits down with Amber Hollingsworth to explore the often-overlooked difference between helping and enabling. While many people associate enabling with providing money or covering for a loved one’s mistakes, it can also take more subtle forms—such as stepping into the role of the fixer, critic, or enforcer.
