On this episode Seano McFarland interviews Mercedes Coffman, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in trauma and addiction recovery. Mercedes shares her
journey from moving to the U.S. from Suriname at 15 to becoming a therapist with over a
decade of experience. She discusses her unexpected but fulfilling internship at CryHelp,
a nonprofit organization aiding addicts and alcoholics, and her approach to therapy, which includes addressing codependency, the importance of a sense of purpose in recovery, combating love bombing, and connecting with one's inner child. Mercedes also highlights the significance of having a higher power, nurturing self-worth, and maintaining a balance between structure and liberation.
