When someone we love is in a relationship that’s causing harm, knowing what to do can feel incredibly confusing.

Do we step in, or step back?

In this follow-up conversation from last week, we speak again with Liza, who is now supporting her son through a relationship that is leaving him anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from himself. Together, they explore how to recognize when a relationship has crossed from challenging into harmful, and what it means to respond with both care and clarity.

What you’ll learn:

•How to recognize when a relationship is harmful (not just challenging)

•When it’s appropriate to step in, and how to do it without controlling

•The difference between support, rescue, and intervention

•How to stay out of triangulation while still being deeply relational

•Why the “net effect” of a relationship matters more than intention
