I know sometimes people gag when they hear the term “affirmations.” I get it. You can’t just sit around saying “I’m rich” and get rich. That’s not what affirmations are for. They’re for clearing up the negative stuff that’s often swirling in the background of our minds – often for decades.…

How to Change When Helping Hurts: Lessons from My Codependent Crisis

The incident that landed me in a 12-step recovery was that I hit a codependent bottom.
