Defining Codependency in a Toxic Family ...

SHERRY GABA AND CARLA ROMO
About this episode

Carla has returned from her trip to India and had a wonderful experience immersing herself in the culture. She shares a few highlights with Sherry before diving into a Love Fix Question from a listener who is struggling to fully move on from a toxic ex that cheated on them, and is looking for guidance to stop peeking at everything they do on social media. They then welcome guest Dr. Sherrie Campbell, a licensed psychologist who specializes in assisting healthy individuals in severing ties with toxic people.  Dr. Sherrie is a nationally recognized expert on family estrangement, a best-selling author, an inspirational speaker, the host of the "Sherapy Sessions: Cutting Toxic Family Ties" podcast, a prominent social media influencer, and a regularly featured media expert.
