In this episode, I unpack codependence, developmental trauma and love addiction with Jodi White, a psychotherapist, sober recovering love addict and host of “Journals of a Love Addict.”
Jodi and talk about:
- The 5 core symptoms of codependence
- How dysfunctional families set the stage for being over or anti-dependent
- What love addiction is and how it’s different from codependency
- Developing a Functional Adult Self to care for our “inner woundeds”
- How experiential learning bypasses the ‘thinking brain’ to heal trauma

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
