In this episode of Sharing Without Shame, host Donna Marston welcomes Dr. Laura Ellick, a licensed psychologist specializing in eating disorders, addiction, and chronic medical conditions. Together, they dive into the complexities of addiction, including misconceptions, gaslighting, and the role of families in recovery. Dr. Ellick shares her personal and professional evolution in understanding addiction, moving from judgment to empathy.

They discuss the evolution of addiction treatment, the importance of family education, and why recovery is a long-term process rather than a 28-day fix. Donna shares her personal experiences as a mother navigating her son’s addiction, highlighting how parents unknowingly contribute to unhealthy dynamics. They also touch on toxic relationships, setting boundaries, and the reality of relapse.
Dr. Ellick also introduces her podcast, Slightly Sane, which blends pop culture with mental health education, and they explore why society—especially women—is fascinated with true crime.
