In this episode, recovery coach and author D.J. Burr and host Josh Hall dive into several topics, including self-care, surviving sexual abuse, codependency and addiction, and the freedom that comes with recovery.

"Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship with yourself that is typically manifested with other people." - D.J. Burr, LMHC, NCC, S-PSB

D.J. gives specific examples of what codependency looks like and how it manifests in simple daily activities, such as having a simple conversation.

D.J. Burr himself is the host of two podcasts Journey On: Men Healing from Sexual Abuse & Assault and Making an Addict.
In D.J. Burr's book, "I Just Wanted Love: Recovery of a Codependent, Sex and Love Addict", he tells his story of recovery from sexual abuse, codependency and addiction.
