Have you ever been the only one seeing or telling the truth and NO one else sees, or believes you?


That is called the Cassandra Complex (named after Cassandra in Greek mythology who was cursed to tell the truth and never be believed.).


Whether it relates to addiction, alcoholism, relapse, abuse, etc. This happens and it can be excruciating.


Breaking free from the group (family, friend or coworkers) is not easy or without its moments of confusion and heartache. We can develop Stuck Stress.


Listen in to this week's episode to hear the relatable struggles others have had as well as some tools and tips that can help.
