Not blame — mapping

TherapistAssist logo

Not blame — mapping. Family of origin patterns often set the template that addiction later filled. Naming them supports long-term recovery.

Rules I was taught (spoken and unspoken)
Role I played (hero, scapegoat, lost, mascot, other)
What was rewarded / punished
What addiction offered that home didn't
What I'm choosing differently in my adult life
