Breaking Free from Codependency | Dr. Sarah Michaud, Clinical Psychologist
What happens when the behaviors that once helped us survive begin preventing us from truly living?
Dr. Mary Sanders welcomes Dr. Sarah Michaud, a clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of experience in addiction and codependency and more than 40 years of sobriety, for an honest conversation about codependency, recovery, healthy boundaries, and emotional freedom.
Together, they explore how codependent patterns can sometimes look like love, loyalty, compassion, or simply being the person everyone depends on. They also discuss how to recognize these patterns, tolerate other people's disappointment, establish healthier boundaries, and begin creating a stronger relationship with yourself.
If you have ever felt trapped in the role of rescuer, fixer, caretaker, or peacekeeper, this episode offers compassionate insight and practical steps toward change.
Because breaking free from codependency is not about becoming less caring. It is about learning not to abandon yourself in the process.
