But we can also sort of what I just sort of refer to as sort of losing our sense of self, because there's so much of this deferring to other people, and often this is in terms of things like you know, their opinions, their needs, what they like.
What if your perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies are holding you back more than you realize? In this engaging episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Sharon Martin, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in codependency recovery. With over two decades of experience, Sharon dives deep into the struggles many face with self-doubt, shame, and setting boundaries.
She shares how societal pressures and tough love messages often exacerbate these issues, making it even harder to reclaim self-worth. Sharon’s approach is both compassionate and practical. She discusses the importance of self-compassion and setting healthy boundaries—not just with others but with yourself too. As someone who has faced her own challenges in setting boundaries, Sharon’s insights are both relatable and actionable.
She also talks about her work as an author, including her books 'The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism' and 'The Better Boundaries Workbook', which offer practical tools for anyone looking to improve their mental health. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with codependency or simply looking to improve their self-worth. Sharon’s wisdom offers a beacon of hope and a roadmap for reclaiming your life from the grips of perfectionism and people-pleasing.
Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation provides valuable takeaways that can help you or your loved ones on the journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
