  • Emotional Sobriety

    I’m so grateful I found this podcast when looking for guidance about an alcoholic friend also diagnosed late in life as on the autism spectrum. Then as I continued listening I found such similar ways of thinking about my own sobriety, and, most recently, your episode on dealing with difficult people. Humbling and eye opening. It’s really helped me see where I continue to play a role. Thank you!

    Hello!

    I love your podcast – it has been a great help to me for a long time!

    I’d like to ask if you could make an episode specifically on how to set boundaries with a toxic mother who has always manipulated you by playing the biggest victim – especially when you’ve been conditioned to feel deep guilt and responsibility for all her feelings, and to never have any boundaries.

    In my case, I’ve been her only daughter and the only close relative she still has a connection to. She brought me up alone... more
