In an enlightening episode of the Soberful podcast, host Veronica engages in a deep conversation with Dr. Sarah Michaud, a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in addiction and codependency. Dr. Michaud shares her personal journey of sobriety, having remained sober for 40 years since the age of 24. Her experiences in the 1980s during what she describes as the 'cocaine time' led her to pursue a career in psychology, focusing on addiction and codependency. Dr.
Michaud discusses her book, 'Co-Crazy: One Psychologist's Recovery from Codependency and Addiction,' which serves as both a memoir and a roadmap for those seeking freedom from codependent relationships. She reflects on her personal struggles, including two marriages and the challenges posed by her second husband's relapse. These experiences highlight the pervasive nature of codependency, which often manifests in the fear of other people's feelings and the difficulty of setting personal boundaries. Throughout the episode, Dr.
Michaud emphasizes the importance of confronting one's fears and sticking with the facts, a technique often used in interventions with alcoholics. She candidly shares how these practices have helped her maintain sobriety and achieve personal growth. In addition to her professional work, Dr. Michaud is actively creating content to support others on their journey to self-discovery and recovery. She co-hosts a YouTube channel and podcast called 'Leaving Crazy Town' with her partner, Finn, a transgendered sober attorney.
This platform aims to explore deep topics related to codependency and addiction, all while maintaining a sense of humor and joy.
