Dr. Blair Steel, PsyD, a clinical psychologist and addiction specialist, joins the show today to explore the complex interplay between codependency and personal authenticity. Dr. Steel shares her journey of overcoming high-functioning codependency, revealing how it led her to hide behind science and focus on others. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, the episode delves into the lasting impact of childhood environments on emotional expression and the internalization of limiting beliefs. Together, we discuss the significance of resilience, breaking generational cycles, and fostering authenticity within family dynamics. This conversation will have you challenge your own belief systems, embrace emotional expression, and ultimately align with your true self.
