Whether it was avoidant behavior or acting out behavior, or people pleasing, or rationalization, or it doesn't matter what it is. I mean you know, you know you can go to a meeting and someone has Years of sobriety and they're still bitching about their wife or whatever it's like, until someone really owns and acknowledges: wow, I am the problem, I've got the stuff.
Ever wondered why you keep falling into the same unhealthy relationship patterns? In this episode of the 'Adult Child' podcast, Andrea sits down with clinical psychologist Sarah Michaud, PsyD, to tackle the thorny issue of codependency. With over 30 years of experience in addiction and codependency, Michaud brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight to the table.
She’s also the author of 'Co-Crazy - One Psychologist's Recovery from Codependency & Addiction', a book that dives into the unconscious feelings steering our lives and offers tools to start speaking for yourself and handling your emotions better. Michaud opens up about her own journey, including the painful experience of dealing with her husband's relapse after 20 years of sobriety. This episode is not just about theory; it's about real-life struggles and triumphs.
Andrea and Michaud explore how growing up in a dysfunctional family can set the stage for codependent behaviors. They also discuss the fine line between codependency and empathy, the role of somatic therapy in trauma recovery, and why it's crucial to resolve past resentments for true healing. One of the standout moments is when Michaud shares her candid reflections: 'Until someone really owns and acknowledges: wow, I am the problem, I've got the stuff,' true healing cannot occur.
Her honesty is both refreshing and inspiring, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with codependency or trying to support someone who is. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice that could help you break free from old patterns and start living a healthier, more autonomous life.
