Summary

Today we're diving deep into a topic you've been requesting since Dear Shandy's earliest days: Enmeshment. We're joined by psychotherapist Alyssa Mancao to define this dynamic, how to navigate it, and when and how to set boundaries. This conversation also spawns a lot of interesting tangents on subtopics ranging from culture norms to differentiating between irritation and impairment.

Alyssa Mancao is a psychotherapist and the founder of Alyssa Marie Wellness, a therapy practice in Los Angeles. She is a writer, speaker, and educator focused on Social Justice & Mental Health. Her writing has been featured in Huffington Post, Elle, Women’s Health, Oprah Magazine, and Re-Spin, among many others.
