    Leaving CrazyTown: Are You Having a Co-Crazy Thanksgiving?

    Dr. Sarah MichaudBy Dr. Sarah MichaudNovember 19, 20231 Min Read
    Leaving CrazyTown with Finn and Sarah

    In this episode of Leaving CrazyTown, Sarah and Finn discuss a common occurrence during holidays – doing more than you want to do. Going to multiple houses, hosting when you don’t want to. Forcing yourself to invite people you don’t want or doing things you don’t want to do in the name of tradition or because you can’t say no. They discuss how to identify when you are doing things against your own will.

    Happy Holidays!

    Dr. Sarah Michaud, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist in central Massachusetts. After twenty years of sobriety, she was forced to confront the shame of her husband relapsing and the desperate behaviors that occur when one attempts to save another. What unfolded was a life that she could never have imagined. Sarah hosts a YouTube channel with her friend Finn Allen called Leaving CrazyTown.
