Tuesday, May 13, 7:00pm Codependency is when you focus too much on others’ needs and neglect your own. It often shows up as anxiety, anger, exhaustion, or a constant worry about what others think or do. It's about not setting boundaries or letting others' actions control your emotions. The key is to shift focus to your own happiness, needs, and freedom to live the life you want. Join psychologist Sarah Michaud as she takes us on her journey from bondage to freedom and discusses her book Co-Crazy. |
