Podcasts about Codependency

Codependency is one of those buzzwords often used in therapy and mental health around relationships. Today's guest has provoked a lot of feedback by challenging people's views on this subject. Join us for this intriguing conversation. I'm joined by one of my favorite people on TikTok, Shahem Mclaurin, a social worker in Brooklyn, NY, with over 500,000 followers on social media. Shahem is self-described as a person who is “queer as hell, Black as hell, and loud as hell.” They use their platform to address a wide range of social and mental health issues impacting people of color, patriarchy-impacted people, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Show Highlights: ●      How Shahem's view of codependency has challenged the worldview of many people ●      Why Shahem got a lot of blowback from his thoughts on codependency when he began to challenge popular worldviews ●      Why we need to differentiate between attention-seeking and connection-seeking behaviors ●      Why people get defensive when their “codependency identification” is challenged ●      How the term codependency originated as part of popular therapeutic language ●      How our culture sees having empathy for someone and expecting accountability from them as opposites that can't both be true at the same time ●      Thoughts on codependency, outside validation, connectivity, and feeling emotionally safe ●      How to take a look at your unique journey “in the pool” Resources and Links: Connect with Shahem: ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ Connect with KC: ⁠TikTok⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠, and ⁠Facebook⁠ Get KC's book, ⁠How to Keep House While Drowning⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

In this podcast, learn about the codependent communication struggles no one talks about. In codependency, the focus is usually on keeping the peace, avoiding conflict, and managing someone else's emotions, at the expense of your own truth. This makes authentic communication feel dangerous, especially if you grew up in a toxic environment where speaking up led to punishment, rejection, or emotional withdrawal. Poor communication is one of the defining features of toxic relationships, especially when one or both partners are codependent. Rather than say what they mean, codependent people tend to hint, people-please, or stuff their emotions down to avoid being abandoned. Over time, this leads to resentment, confusion, and emotional disconnection. Without clear, honest communication, even the strongest connection can break down under the weight of unspoken expectations and unmet needs. Healing from codependency means learning how to communicate with clarity, courage, and compassion. It requires unlearning the belief that your needs don't matter and developing the inner safety to speak your truth.  Whether you're in recovery from a toxic relationship or just starting to recognize codependent patterns in your life, learning how to communicate effectively is essential if you want to build real intimacy and self-respect. The first step, is telling the truth, and learning to take accountability for poor communication skills, while understanding with self compassion, it could literally be no other way.  Today, if this resonates with you, you have a shot at healing your life by unlearning the survival patterns that kept you feeling safe, that also kept you stuck repeating the faulty patterns from the past. Are you codependent? If so, you probably have an insecure, anxious attachment style, and the good news is, we can fix that!  Calling all serious, ready, willing and able souls who have the time and can invest in themselves at this time to finally take their lives back.

Welcome back to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this gripping episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White have a raw, real, and hope-filled conversation with Michael Molthan—formerly one of the nation's top luxury home builders, now a passionate recovery advocate, faith-filled motivator, and host of the M2 The Rock show. Men, if you've ever hit rock bottom, battled addiction, struggled with hidden pain, or felt like you're trying to climb out of a pit you can't escape—this is YOUR episode. Michael gets honest about his journey from childhood trauma and high-flying career success, to 27 arrests, homelessness, and ultimately, a prison cell where his life was radically changed by the grace of Jesus Christ. If you're a man who's tired of quick fixes, religious clichés, or just going through the motions, we invite you to hear how redefining “rock bottom” led Michael—and can lead you—to the true foundation: relationship with Christ and becoming the man you're made to be.About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Caught in a cycle of blaming others for how you feel? You might think self-acceptance comes from others accepting you first. Wrong. That approach builds walls, creates resentment, and slowly kills your relationships. Codependency, anyone? Giving the remote control to your emotions to someone else NEVER leads to self acceptance. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why you feel resentment rather than acceptance * What is a trigger that leads you to a world of hurt? * How to actually accept yourself. "Where there is judgment, love is not happening in those moments ~ Love of yourself or the other person." ~ Tracy Crossley

Send us a textBrett knows firsthand what it means to be addicted—not to substances, but to approval. As someone who spent years chasing validation to fill an inner emptiness, Brett's story sheds light on a lesser-known but deeply relatable struggle: the addiction to being liked, needed, and praised. Growing up without a strong sense of emotional fulfillment, Brett learned to shape-shift, perform, and people-please in order to feel worthy. But no amount of applause could quiet the inner voice that whispered, you're not enough.Brett's Website Support the show

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are detaching with love as we learn the importance of setting healthly boundaries, explore the many faces of codependency, and understand how to let go without giving up. Have you ever felt like someone else's happiness—or healing—was somehow your responsibility? Like if they were struggling, it meant you had to jump in and fix it, smooth it over, or carry it for them? If that sounds familiar, you might be brushing up against something I've wrestled with myself: codependency. For me, learning to detach with love has been one of the hardest, most freeing lessons in my healing journey. It doesn't come naturally—I'm still working on it every day—but it's opened up a whole new way of understanding relationships and responsibility. Detachment doesn't mean indifference. It doesn't mean cutting people off or shutting your heart down. It means having healthy boundaries that say, “I love you, and I also know that your growth is not mine to manage.” For those of us who think in black-and-white, all-or-nothing terms, detaching without guilt can feel impossible. But this work—this shift in mindset—isn't just for people dealing with addiction or dramatic relationship breakdowns. It's for anyone who finds themselves overfunctioning, over-apologizing, or constantly carrying the emotional weight of everyone else. Let's talk about what it means to detach, not with judgment or resentment, but with love. At its core, codependency is about losing yourself in someone else's needs, emotions, or dysfunction. It's an emotional tug-of-war where you believe, often unconsciously, that someone else's stability or growth depends on your constant involvement. You might take on the role of fixer, peacekeeper, rescuer, or even mind-reader. And while your intentions are loving, the results can be exhausting, confusing, and deeply unfulfilling. Now—detaching with love might sound like an emotional paradox. How do you care without carrying? How do you show up for someone without stepping over the line and taking over? Detachment isn't coldness or emotional withdrawal. It's the intentional act of allowing others to face the consequences of their own choices, while protecting your energy, boundaries, and sense of self in the process. Detaching With Love Is Good for Everyone - Sharon Martin, DSW, LCSW Demystifying Co-dependency - S.M. Stray CHALLENGE: Loosen your grip on what was never yours to carry, and instead, hold space—for your growth and theirs. Practice loving with open hands, not clenched fists, trusting that boundaries are not walls, but bridges to healthier relationships.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

Do you ever wonder when it's appropriate to set a boundary? Or do you wish you knew what boundaries to set? Maybe unhealthy behavior was normalized in your family of origin, making it difficult to know when a request is “reasonable.” If so, this episode is for you. It's the second in a two-part series about boundaries and high-functioning codependency (HFC). In this one, we're covering the five types of boundaries, three boundary styles, and tips for when to set a boundary and how to do it. You can catch Part 1 here, where we covered boundary basics and talked about the unique challenges HFCs have in setting boundaries. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/718

Do you struggle with setting boundaries because it feels selfish or wrong to put your preferences or needs first?  Do you inadvertently trample on other people's boundaries? (Hyper-helping, auto-advice giving, etc.) Or are you a newly identified high-functioning codependent (HFC) wondering why it's especially tough to set boundaries? Then you're in the right place. In this episode, I am breaking down why it's challenging to set, stick to, and respect other people's boundaries, particularly as HFCs. This is part one, and in part two (coming next week), we'll cover boundary scripts and the different types of boundaries you might want to consider setting.

Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about the way that people are prompting generative AI tools like ChatGPT. I saw my friend Rebecca the other day was posting about how she had asked ChatGPT about a bunch of nutritional supplements she was taking and some advice for them. And I immediately went, oh, stop. We have three areas where we do not just ask generative AI for information because of the way the model is trained. Those areas are finance, law and health. In those areas, they’re high risk areas. If you’re asking ChatGPT for advice without providing good data, the answers are really suspect. Katie, you also had some thoughts about how you’re seeing people using ChatGPT on LinkedIn. Katie Robbert – 00:55 Well, I was saying this morning that it’s hard to go on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is where we’re all trying to connect with each other professionally, be thought leaders, share our experience. But it’s so hard for me personally, and this is my own opinion because every time I open LinkedIn the first thing I see is a post that says, “Today I asked ChatGPT.” Every post starts with, “So I was talking with ChatGPT.” “ChatGPT was telling me this morning.” And the codependency that I’m seeing being built with these tools is alarming to me and I’m oversimplifying it, but I don’t see these tools as any better than when you were just doing an Internet search. What I mean by that is the quality of the data is not necessarily better. Katie Robbert – 01:49 They can do more bells and whistles, they have more functions, they can summarize things, they can do backflips and create images and whatever. But the data is not different. You’re not getting better quality data. If anything, you’re probably getting more junk because you’re not asking specific questions like you would to a search engine. Because if you don’t ask a specific question to a search engine, you get junk back. So it forces you to be more detailed. With these generative AI being used as a quasi search, you don’t have to be specific. You’re still going to get a very long detailed answer back that’s going to look legit. And what I’m seeing, the thing that I’m concerned about is people are—the first thing they’re doing in the morning is they’re opening ChatGPT. Katie Robbert – 02:45 And this is not a knock at ChatGPT or OpenAI. This is just, I’m seeing it as the common name thrown around. People are opening a generative AI instance and having a conversation with it first thing in the morning. And I’m alarmed by that because the codependency means we’re not doing our research, we’re not having original thought, and we’re overly reliant on the software to do the work for us. Christopher S. Penn – 03:14 And that’s very much human nature, or just nature in general. Nature always prefers the path of least resistance, even if it’s not correct, it’s easier. And in the macro environment that we’re in, in 2025, where truth kind of takes a backseat to vibes, as it were, that behavior makes total sense. In fact, there was a paper that came out not too long ago that said that the number one use case—finance, health and law—the number one use case of ChatGPT outside of the marketing world and business world is people using it as a therapist. You can. If it’s properly primed and prompted and with therapeutic supervision from a real human therapist, yes, you can. Christopher S. Penn – 04:03 I guarantee no one using it like that is doing any of those things. Katie Robbert – 04:06 No, you can’t. Because of that second part of the statement. The people who are likely using these tools as a therapist aren’t building them in such a way that it is a qualified proxy for a human therapist. Now, humans make mistakes. Humans are flawed, and so that’s not to say that going to a human therapist is going to solve your problem. It’s a complicated question, but a human therapist is going to do a better job of knowing what is in scope and out of scope in terms of the context of the conversation. And so, if, let’s say, Chris, one morning I think I need a therapy session. Katie Robbert – 04:57 I’m going to turn to the nearest generative AI tool and say, hey, I’m kind of feeling down today. What can I do to get out of this funk? It’s going to start giving me advice and it’s going to start telling me things that I should do. And if I don’t know any better, I’m just going to start blindly following this advice, which could actually be detrimental to my health, to my mental health, and possibly my physical health. Because what happens if I say something like, I’ve been having very tense conversations with someone in my life and I don’t know how to approach it? This generative AI system isn’t going to say, hey, are you in danger? Do you need some sort of intervention from law enforcement or medical intervention? Katie Robbert – 05:46 It’s just going to say, here are some tips on navigating a difficult conversation with someone and I’m going to blindly follow it and try to navigate my way through a very tense situation with no supervision, which could have life threatening results. That’s more of an extreme, but people actually look for that information on the Internet, how to get out of a bad situation. What can I do that in a non violent way to work with someone, whatever the thing is. And now granted, we have the luxury of mostly staying in the B2B marketing realm or sort of in the verticals and operations and business, but it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge that there is a world outside of the business that we’re in. Christopher S. Penn – 06:41 When we think about people’s codependency on AI and the way that they’re approaching it relatively naively and accepting what AI gives them because they’re overwhelmed in every other part of their lives and they’re thinking, finally, an answer tool! Just give me the answer. I don’t even care if the answer is right. I just want the answer so that I don’t have one more thing on my to do list to do. How do you help people navigate that, Katie? How do you help people be thoughtful in its use and accept that it is not the Wizard of Oz? You do have to pull back the curtain, look behind the curtain. Katie Robbert – 07:19 I’m not going to be able to give you a blanket answer to that question because a lot of it involves trust between humans. And so if you’re asking me how I would help someone, first of all, they have to trust me enough to let me help. Not everyone knows what kind of things they’re overwhelmed by. I am someone who happens to be self aware to a fault. So I know the things that I’m overwhelmed by. But that doesn’t mean that I can necessarily get out of my own way. Katie Robbert – 07:54 And it doesn’t mean that if an easy solution to a problem is presented to me, I’m not going to take it. So if I’m overwhelmed one day and a generative AI system says, hey, I can answer 3 of those 7 questions for you. That actually sounds really appealing. My emotional brain has taken over. My logical brain isn’t going to be, Katie, maybe you should check the answers on those. My emotional brain is, yes, let’s just get those things done. I don’t care. I will deal with the consequences later. So it’s a complicated question, and I can’t give you an answer other than we have to keep trying our best as humans to be present in the moment when you’re using these tools. Katie Robbert – 08:40 And I know this, and I promise this was not me segueing into an opportunity to bring this up. But there’s a reason that the five P’s exist. And let me explain. The five P’s are meant to—if you’re overwhelmed and you’re thinking, let me just turn to generative AI to get the answer, let’s just stop. Think of the five P’s in that instance, almost like a breathing exercise to get your wits about you. And so it’s, okay, what is my purpose? What is the problem I think I’m trying to solve? And you don’t have to have all the answers to these questions, but it gives you an opportunity to slow down and think through what am I about to look for? So let’s say in this instance, let’s just use this example that we’ve been talking about. Katie Robbert – 09:25 Let’s say I’m looking to have a therapy session. I just really need to talk to someone. Okay. I’m having a rough day. I’m feeling kind of overwhelmed. So I want to get some thoughts out of my system. That’s my purpose. The people is me. And then maybe there’s some other people in my life that have been causing this anxiety, but maybe I don’t feel like I have someone to talk to. So I’m going to use a generative AI system as a stand-in. My process—well, that’s a really good question. Do I just say, hey, I need some therapy today, or, hey, I want to talk? Whatever it is, maybe that’s my process. The platform is whatever generative AI system I have handy. And then the performance is, do I feel better? Katie Robbert – 10:12 Was I able to get to some resolution? Now that sounds, oh, okay, well, they’re going to do it anyway. But just like a breathing exercise, the goal of using the 5Ps is to calm your mind a little bit, put your thoughts together, sit back and go, is this a good idea? Should I be doing this? And so in business, in your life, this is why I always say the five P’s are there for any situation. And it doesn’t have to be in depth. It’s really there to help you organize your thoughts. Christopher S. Penn – 10:49 One of the reasons why this is so problematic from a technical perspective is what’s called latent space knowledge. This is the training data that models have been trained on. And in the case of today’s models, for example, Alibaba’s new Qwen model came out last week. That’s trained on 32 trillion tokens. To give you a sense of how large that is, that is a bookshelf of text—only books—that goes around the planet 4 times. That is a massive amount of text. A lot of that text is not date stamped. A lot of it is not time stamped. A lot of it can be anywhere from today to texts from the 5th century. Which means that if you’re asking it a question about mental health or SEO or anything, the models are based on probability. Probability is based on volume. Christopher S. Penn – 11:36 There is a lot more old knowledge than new knowledge, which means that you can be invoking knowledge that’s out of date. For example, ask any generative AI tool about SEO and you will hear about expertise, authority and trust—E-A-T, which Google talked about for 10 years. They revised that two years ago, three years ago now to expertise, experience, authority and trust. And if you don’t know that, then you don’t recognize that in that situation a service like ChatGPT is spitting out old information. Now, it’s not substantially wrong in that case, but without that scoping on it, you are pulling out old information. When you get to things like health and law and finance, there’s a lot of medical information out there. We have medical papers dating back over a century. A lot of them are invalid. A lot of that. Christopher S. Penn – 12:29 We’ve only, for example, started doing research on things like women’s health in the last 10 years. Women were absent for the first 5 centuries of recorded medical knowledge. And yet that’s what most of the corpus of work is. So if you’re asking a tool for information about depression, for example, you’re drawing on a corpus that is so generalized, is not specific to your gender, to your race, to your circumstances, that you could be getting really bad advice. Katie Robbert – 13:02 And this is where I think people get stuck, Chris, is if generative AI in terms of data sources is no better than an Internet search, what are we supposed to do? How do we get to better answers without becoming a Chris Penn data scientist? How do I as an everyday person use generative AI better, more thoughtfully? Christopher S. Penn – 13:34 One of the things that I think is really important is what I have termed the Casino Deep Research framework. And yes, it’s yet another framework because I love frameworks. You can pick up a copy of this for free—no forms to fill out—at TrustInsights.ai/casino. And yes, this is essentially a mutated version of the 5Ps that omits platform because it presumes that generative AI is in there and it breaks out process more granularly. This doesn’t work just for deep research. This works for pretty much all problems, but this is specifically for deep research because you only get so many credits per month and you don’t want to give it a bad prompt and then think, I only have 9 uses of my deep research tool left. So context—tell the tool what you’re doing. Christopher S. Penn – 14:18 Audience—who’s using the research? Sometimes it’s you, sometimes it’s somebody else. The big one for anything like health, finance and law is scoping. What limitations do you need to put on the generative AI tool? What sources are allowed? What sources are not allowed? So for example, with my friend who was asking about supplements, I said you had better restrict your sources to anything that has a DOI number. A DOI number is a document object indicator. This is a number that is assigned to a paper after it has been peer reviewed. Sources without DOI numbers like random articles and self-posts or shit posts on Reddit are not going to have nearly as high quality information. What is the time frame? Christopher S. Penn – 15:03 So again, if, in the case of my friend asking about nutritional supplements for women’s health, we only have 10 years worth of data on that realistically. So their scoping should say don’t use any sources from before 2015. They’re probably not any good. What geographies? And then of course, why are we doing the report? What are the second and third order downstream effects that the research report might have? And of course narrator and output. But the big one for me is the scoping, and this is true again of all generative AI inquiries. What is the scope? What are the restrictions that you need to put on AI? We always talk about how it’s the world’s smartest, most forgetful intern. It’s got a PhD and everything, but it’s still an intern. Christopher S. Penn – 15:50 You would never say to an intern, just go write me an SEO strategy—that’s gonna go so badly. You absolutely would, if you’re a good manager, good at delegating, saying, this is what SEO means to us, this is how we do it. These are the sources that we use, this is the data that we use, these are the tools that we use and these are our competitors. Now, intern, go build us an SEO strategy because once you’ve given the intern all the stuff, they’re going to do a much better job with any of this stuff, but particularly the high risk areas. In a lot of cases, you’ve got to even provide the source data itself. Katie Robbert – 16:27 And this is the problem because people looking for the information are not the experts. They don’t know what a DOI number is or that the data—anything older than a certain date is invalid. And so that’s where I think we still don’t have a good resolution because you’re saying we need to understand the scope you need to provide those restrictions. Someone looking for the information, that’s what they’re trying to understand. So they don’t know what those scope restrictions should be. What, how does, again, someone who isn’t well versed in whatever area they’re trying to understand, how do they get to that information? How do they get to a point where what they’re looking for is something that they can feel good about the responses? Christopher S. Penn – 17:29 The simplest strategy that I can think of would be to say, hey, AI, here’s the thing I want to do today before we race ahead. I want you to ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to complete the task in a way that is thorough and accurate and truthful. So that attached to the bottom of any prompt is going to force you, the human and the machine to go back and forth and fill out conversational details. I say, hey, I want to know more about what supplements should I be taking? Ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to fulfill this task completely and accurately. And it will come back and say, well, who are you? Christopher S. Penn – 18:15 Are you a 23-year-old Korean man or are you a 50-year-old Korean man? What pre-existing health conditions might you have—a reminder, Generative AI does not provide medical advice. What things are you taking right now that could have interactions? And that’s a prompt that we get from coding, from the coding world. The coding world is—when I’m building a requirements document, ask me one question at a time until we have enough requirements for a PRD. And that one sentence will immediately make everything better and will stop AI from immediately trying to be as helpful as possible and forcing it to be more truthful. Katie Robbert – 18:56 And it’s interesting that we have to separate helpful from truthful. And that’s so hard because when you’re getting the responses back from generative AI, it’s not like it’s showing you emotion. So it’s not like you can read into facial expressions or the way that the words are delivered. It’s all very flat. And so you, the human, are interpreting it and reading it in whatever voice you read things in your own brain. And you’re going, okay, well this is a machine, so it must be truthful/helpful. But the two aren’t always—sometimes they’re true at the same time, sometimes they’re not. Christopher S. Penn – 19:45 And AI model makers have those three pillars. Harmless—don’t do any harm, that will get us sued. Helpful, and then truthful is always a distant third because the nature of the technology itself doesn’t include truthfulness. Christopher S. Penn – 20:00 No model—they try to train it to be accurate. But the nature of the model itself, the underlying architecture is that it will never be 100% truthful. It does not know that it is not an encyclopedia, it is a probability machine. And so harmless and helpful are the two priorities that get boosted to the front and not necessarily truthful. And this is a reflection of its training data. It’s a reflection of the architecture. That’s a reflection of our culture when you think about it. People love to talk, for example, about big pharma. How big pharma is this 2 trillion dollar industry? Well, the wellness industry full of snake oil is an 8 trillion dollar industry. They are helpful, but not truthful. Katie Robbert – 20:43 There was, I don’t even remember. Somehow I think, because my bio is a woman of a certain age, the amount of crap that I am pitched on social media, that’s going to change my life and change my body and all I have to do is drink this thing and take this pill. And none of it is FDA approved even if that’s valid anymore. We don’t know. And so at one point in our lives, having the FDA approved stamp meant something—I don’t know that means anything anymore. But even just thinking that it could have gone through the FDA was a comfort, but now there’s the amount of things that you could be taking and you could be filling your body with and doing this and doing that. Katie Robbert – 21:36 It’s ridiculous. And the only one who can make this decision, whether or not it is helpful or truthful or both is you, the human. Christopher S. Penn – 21:45 And this goes back to what you were talking about earlier, Katie. Helpful creates an emotional response in us. I feel better. Truthful creates a different emotional response, which is usually okay. That’s the truth. I don’t know that I like it. And so when people are codependent on generative AI, when people are blindly trusting AI, it’s because of that thing—helpful. Someone is helping me. And in a world where it feels like people talk about the loneliness epidemic when no one else is helping you, a machine that is helpful, even if it’s completely wrong, is still better than being without help. Katie Robbert – 22:28 And so, what we’re seeing is we’re seeing this play out again. Our ecosystem is very much constrained to our peers and other B2B marketers and other people in business and operations. And so those are the kinds of posts that we’re seeing on social media like LinkedIn, starting with, ‘Today I asked ChatGPT,’ ‘I was out of ideas, so I talked to ChatGPT’ or ‘I had this thought, so I thought I’d run it past ChatGPT.’ Those are the people who are talking about it. We as marketers are wired to tell people our every move. There’s a lot of people not talking about how much they’re using these systems and what they’re using them for. And that, I think is what concerns me. Katie Robbert – 23:18 So if we can be highlighting the risks within our own industry, hopefully that will then have that trickle down effect to people outside of the industry who are using it every day and trying to get things like medical advice, legal advice, what insurance should I be using? How do I get out of this lawsuit without having to pay a lawyer, anything like that? Because if you’re just asking those basic questions, you’re going to get shitty answers. Christopher S. Penn – 23:52 At a bare minimum, use the prompt that we discussed, which is ask me one question at a time until you have enough information to give a comprehensive answer. Just prompting AI with that alone is going to help you get better answers out of these tools, because it’s going to ask you things that you forgot to include in your prompt: who you are, what the situation is, why you’re asking about it, and so on and so forth. And if you are doing something high risk—finance, law, health—please at least look at the questions in the Casino Deep Research prompt. Whether or not you use the deep research tool at all to think through, to take that breath Katie was talking about, take that breath and think through. Am I providing enough information to get a good outcome? Christopher S. Penn – 24:39 Am I providing enough context? Am I helping the tool understand what it is that I want to do? And finally, I would say one of the things that you should—and this is something that came up in my many weeks of travel, encouraging people—find a group, find a peer group of some kind where you can talk to other real human beings in addition to machines to say, hey, I have this idea. For example, in our Analytics for Marketers Slack group, we have people now asking all the time, here’s this prompt I was trying to run. Here’s the thing I’m trying to do. Is this the right way to do it? And a lot of people jump in to help and say, here’s the prompt that I use, or here’s a way to think about this. Christopher S. Penn – 25:19 Or that’s not a task that you should let AI do. Finding real human beings (a) addresses the loneliness thing and (b) gives you a second set of brains on the AI thing you’re trying to do. So I really encourage people to join AI communities, join Analytics for Marketers. It’s completely free to join. Katie Robbert – 25:40 I agree with all that. Christopher S. Penn – 25:44 If you have comments or questions or things about codependency on generative AI and how people are using it, and you want to share your experiences, come on over at Analytics for Marketers Slack group—over 4,000 marketers asking and answering each other’s questions every single day about analytics, data, science and AI.

Medications can sometimes be necessary for overall health, and we should never shame one another for this. Sometimes it can be a necessity for many people struggling with a variety of different mental health and physical complications and struggles in their lives. Consulting and following a doctor's recommendations - along with listening to and knowing your own body is an essential part of our journey. But what do you do when your body is saying it's time to move away from medication? In this episode we will hear from Keith as he takes us through his own journey of moving away from benzos (a common shorthand for benzodiazepines). Listen in as Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, interviews Keith about his life-change story and journey through detox and recovery from benzos.

About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.The question Matt Brown hears most frequently in his work as an addiction interventionist is deceptively simple yet profoundly challenging: "How do I get my loved one to accept help?" In this powerful return episode of the Party Wreckers podcast, Brown draws from decades of experience to provide families with practical, compassionate strategies for breaking through resistance and creating pathways to recovery.Matt begins by dismantling the myth that addiction is a choice, comparing it to the overwhelming urge to scratch a chickenpox itch despite knowing the consequences. "Nobody wakes up and decides, 'Hey, I think I'm going to burn my life to the ground today,'" he explains. Rather, addiction functions as a desperate attempt to self-medicate against underlying trauma, mental health issues, or emotional pain that feels unbearable without chemical assistance.At the heart of this episode is the powerful parallel between the addict's struggle and the family's enabling patterns. Matt reveals how both sides operate from the same emotional avoidance - the addict using substances to escape feelings, while family members enable to avoid guilt, conflict, and discomfort. "Addiction can't survive for any length of time without enabling," Brown states, comparing the relationship to oxygen feeding a fire. By examining three primary forms of enabling - financial support, emotional coddling, and silence - families can begin identifying their contributions to the cycle.Matt provides transformative guidance on establishing and communicating boundaries, emphasizing language that signals true resolve: replacing "I can't do this anymore" with "I will no longer do this." He explains why family unity proves crucial in intervention success, noting that the 10-15% of people who initially refuse help often do so because they don't believe boundaries are real. When families stand firm while continuing to express love, the message becomes clear: "We're no longer going to let your addiction dictate the rules and hold this family hostage."For families feeling afraid of potential consequences - from homelessness to incarceration or worse - Brown offers balanced perspective and hope. "Those things aren't as catastrophic as what waits if addiction continues," he acknowledges, whilSupport the showJoin us Every Thursday Night at 8:00 EST/5:00PST for a FREE family support group.

In codependency, submission in marriages often stems from fear or obligation and can be confused with God's design for submission leading to unhealthy relationships. Once we have broken free from codependency, God calls us to live differently and walk wisely so we can experience healthy relationships and submission as He intended.

Welcome back my loves!

If you love a narcissist and you're here listening to this podcast, chances are you are learning to understand that you are not viewed healthily and that perhaps the person you are dealing with perceives you through a skewed lens. Maybe you're realizing that it's not you and there is nothing you can do to please a narcissist, although God knows you've tried. Sadly, a narcissists mind works in black and white. You are either for them or against them, which is why having any type of conflict or disagreement is so earth-shattering to them and why they can become so mean, angry and vile with a flip of a switch.  To a narcissist, you are in their life because you represent an asset of some sort, most often as narcissistic supply. However, when a narcissist begins to sense that you can see through them, and especially if you stand your ground, their minds begin to view you as a liability. If a narcissist is unable to dominate you through coercive control tactics, you will be discarded sooner than later, because to them, you have now become a liability and offer them no value.  It's sad but also true and incredibly clarifying ONCE you see the dynamics for what they are.  Are you ready to develop that stainless steel spine we all need in order to develop self love and start manifesting the lives we deserve and desire, free of toxic narcissistic and codependent dynamics?

In today's episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, continues his discussion with Andy regarding the different tactics the enemy uses to try to sabotage our recovery through our relationships. Part 2 of this series takes us deeper into how we can be more aware of the enemy's schemes and how to combat them with Jesus' power.

Ross Rosenberg and Jerry Weiss discuss codependency and its effects on identity and family dynamics. Jerry, a recovering codependent, shares how codependency impacted his self-esteem and happiness. They introduce Murray Bowen's family systems theory, highlighting how interconnected family behaviors influence individual identities and can perpetuate issues like codependency and narcissism across generations, illustrated by the concept of "family system Wi-Fi."The hosts also explore self-differentiation, the process of separating one's identity from family influences, which is often resisted in dysfunctional families. They use analogies like a thermostat and escape velocity to describe the challenges of breaking free from unhealthy dynamics. The episode touches on the cycle of hope experienced by codependents in relationships with narcissists, who often neglect their own needs for validation.As the conversation unfolds, they stress the importance of self-focus and the potential loss of relationships during the journey of self-love and recovery. Jerry provides resources for support, including coaching and free training on his website. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to reflect on their experiences and the systemic nature of their relational patterns, promoting healing and self-discovery.ABOUT ROSS ROSENBERG Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, is a psychotherapist, educator, expert witness, and celebrated author.

We're beginning a series talking about different ways the enemy might try to do this. In today's episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, visits with Andy on different tactics of the enemy we need to be aware of and how we can combat them in God's power.

If you've ever felt emotionally exhausted—even while doing all the “right” things—this episode is for you. I'm sharing a personal story and unpacking something I see in so many women I work with: the quiet, often unnoticed pattern of denying your own needs in the name of being kind, helpful, or faithful. We'll talk about how these patterns take root, how faith communities can unknowingly reinforce them, and why that emotional exhaustion you're feeling might be trying to tell you something important. In this episode, I explore: * How codependency hides behind helping & overfunctioning * How the fawn response might be showing up in your life * The impact of church messages that tell us to "die to ourselves" without teaching us how to live * What healthy dependence looks like * Why your locus of control—internal vs. external—matters more than you think Have a question for Dr. Alison?

If you struggle with worrying about what others think, you may be vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation. Codependents are often conditioned to seek external validation, fearing rejection or judgment. Narcissists exploit this by twisting reality, making you question your own experiences, and using your need for approval against you. They may say, "You're too sensitive," or "No one else sees it that way," to gaslight you into doubting yourself. They might also manipulate social perceptions, controlling how others see you through smear campaigns or triangulation.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano exposes these tactics and teaches you how to detach from the fear of judgment, trust your own reality, and break free from the narcissist's control. If you don't know just upset you can become when others perceive you in a negative way, you might not realize how someone with high narcissistic traits could use that fear against you to keep you stuck! Tune in now to reclaim your power! We appreciate your like, follow and share.  And if you know someone who needs to know that a narcissist might be using their fears regarding how others perceive them against them, be sure to share this episode with them.  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group
