And There You Go..‪.‬ OllieBug Productions, LLC

What happens when a teacher turns her back on a confectionary delight?  How can a simple list of names body-slam your self-esteem?  And, what’s so bad about a mammogram, anyway?  In this episode, Addie and Chad explore what can happen when we become too attached to outcomes.

From a gun blatantly pointed at her to the bruises noticed by a doctor, Addie shares the abuse and manipulation she endured as she unpacks the “Power and Control Wheel”, discusses how to identify if you are in an abusive and potentially dangerous relationship, and tells you what you need to do now to get help.

Some call it overly religious, almost to the point of cultish.  Some dismiss it because the actions it requires are to too hard or don’t make a hell of a lot of sense.  Over the course of numerous presentations and lectures in front of hundreds of addicts and alcoholics, Chad has found a unique way to discuss the 12 Steps that’s digestible and compelling, allowing even the most skeptical to do the work that’s needed to earn the prize.

Chad talks about his first, very reluctant expedition to an Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step meeting.  From the delightful smell of gourmet coffee to a massive tsunami wave of anxiety, Chad found himself wanting to scream, "Thanks for nothing, Big Burly Guy!"

Addie and Chad continue their conversation from Episode 18 - You're in a trauma bond relationship...  What is it and what do you do?
