Today you'll hear from licensed marriage and family therapist, Michelle Farris. She helps people resolve anger, and heal from eating disorders and codependency, among other areas of focus.

I learned so much in this conversation with Michelle, like:

Why we can't will ourselves to be ready to do the work

How core issues show up as trigger

The difference between codependent and narcissistic

How to identify if you have codependency issues

And so much more…in fact, we're going to record some additional conversations around how to process anger, so stay tuned for that.

I'd love to hear what resonated with you the most, so drop me a line on the socials or email me at arlina@soberlifeschool.com - So with that, please enjoy this episode with Michelle
