Ep 012 - Why Are Boundaries So Scary - A. Charisse Gough, LPC with Recovery Advocate Network

Today's podcast focuses on Boundaries and Why They are so Scary. We are thrilled to have our guest, Charisse, here to share her expertise.

This episode mentions various mental health challenges as well as religious influences. We realize some listeners may have experienced abuse through religion, so we want to include this in our episode trigger warning. If you feel triggered by any of the topics mentioned, we encourage you to contact your support system, therapist, national and community support groups, the Global Crisis Text Line by texting 741741, and/or if in the US, dialing 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis lifeline.

We also discussed co-dependency, career transitions, varying treatment levels, trauma responses, some of our favorite books, and of course, our favorite quotes. 

We hope you will also connect with us at www.recoveryadvocatenetwork.org where you can donate to the mission, read blog posts, and stay in the loop about upcoming events, including our next fundraising auction on October 26^th – 28^th of this year.
