Summary

First time guest Sarah Michaud joins us today to discuss all things CODEPENDENCY. Sarah is the author the recently published "Co-Crazy - One Psychologist's Recovery from Codependency & Addiction", which identifies what unconscious feelings are running our lives without our even knowing it, and gives you the tools to begin to speak for yourself and learn how to tolerate your "feeling states."
Sarah Michaud is a clinical psychologist who has specialized in addiction and codependency for over 30 years. After 20 years of sobriety, she was forced to confront the shame of her husband relapsing and the desperate behaviors one attempts to save another. What unfolded was a life that she could never had imagined. This book is about her journey back to her true self.
