Loving an Addict Without Losing Yourself | with Tiana Cologna
What if healing didn’t have to wait until your loved one chose recovery?
In this episode of Shts Fcked, Paris sits down with Tiana Cologna, coach, NLP practitioner, and founder of Consciously Connect, to explore what it’s really like to love someone through addiction, and how families can begin to heal even when the addict doesn’t seek help.
Tiana shares her personal experience growing up with a brother in active drug addiction, and the emotional toll it took on her and her family. She speaks openly about co-dependency, enabling behaviours, and the painful reality that not everyone chooses recovery. Through her own healing and study of alternative therapies like NLP and hypnosis, Tiana developed a new path forward, one that supports families in reclaiming their peace, boundaries, and identity.
If you’ve ever felt like your life is being consumed by someone else’s addiction, this episode offers clarity, validation, and practical tools to help you find your way back to yourself.
