Summary

Powerhouse psychotherapist, boundary expert, and author Terri Cole joins me today for an incredibly enlightening talk about boundary setting, codependency, and how it all plays out in sobriety.

Terri will share how she came to dedicate her life to helping people navigate boundary setting and what she has coined ‘high functioning codependency’. She’ll share what boundaries and codependency truly are, how alcohol plays into disordered boundaries, the first steps you can take if you’re ready to create stronger boundaries in your relationships, and why codependency is weakening your relationships with others.

Terri has offered a free high functioning co-dependent toolkit at www.terricole.com/hfc
