In this episode of the Recovered Life Show, host Damon Frank sits down with psychologist Dr. Natalie Feinblatt, who specializes in addiction, trauma, and codependency.
Together, they take a deep dive into what it truly means to be “the fixer”—the person who constantly steps in to solve problems, keep the peace, and take responsibility for everyone else’s lives. Dr. Natalie shares key insights on where this compulsive need to save others comes from, how codependency operates in relationships affected by addiction or mental health issues, and how to spot the line between helpfulness and control.
Whether you’ve been a lifelong people-pleaser or are navigating your own recovery journey, this conversation provides actionable guidance on setting healthy boundaries, tolerating the discomfort of saying “no,” and reclaiming your energy.
