In this insightful episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, we’re joined by the legendary Dr. Drew Pinsky — addiction medicine specialist, TV host, and renowned expert on mental health and relationships.
With over 30 years of experience in psychiatric hospitals and rehab centers (Loveline, Celebrity Rehab, and beyond), Dr. Drew explores the deep connection between codependency, narcissism, trauma, and addiction. He explains how unresolved trauma often leads us into toxic, one-sided relationships — and how to break free from the cycles that keep us stuck.
🎙️ In this episode:
- How codependency and narcissistic abuse are often linked
- The emotional and neurological roots of addiction and trauma
- Why some people are drawn to toxic or high-conflict relationships
- Tools to recognize unhealthy relational patterns
- How to start healing from codependency and rebuilding self-worth
If you've ever struggled in love, lost yourself in someone else, or want to understand the deeper layers of your relationship dynamics, this conversation with Dr. Drew is a must-listen.
