Often when we see young people in eating disorder recovery, there's that one person in the family who's identified as the problem, and the family often doesn't want to look at what else is going on. It's about recognizing the larger family dynamics and the importance of setting boundaries for healthier relationships.
Imagine trying to navigate adulthood while carrying the weight of a dysfunctional family past. In this episode of 'Adult Child', host Andrea teams up with Sharon Martin, a seasoned psychotherapist, to tackle the complex issues of codependency and boundary setting.
