Feeling lost in people-pleasing and emotional caretaking? You’re not alone. Psychotherapist and author of Love Smacked, Sherry Gaba, joins us to unpack codependency. We explore how early relational trauma wires us to abandon ourselves for connection.

Learn to spot the subtle signs of codependency: resentment, overgiving, chronic guilt. Sherry explains the link between love addiction and the pull toward unavailable partners.

We dive into healing tools: inner child work, parts therapy, and nervous system regulation. Discover how healing doesn’t always mean leaving the relationship—discernment is key.

This episode is both validating and deeply practical for anyone on the healing path.

Tune in to reclaim your peace, power, and sense of self.
