Ep: 1886 Dr. Tamir Aldad - Too Close For Comfort

Drawing on years of clinical experience, Dr. Tamir Aldad challenges conventional wisdom about codependency and introduces readers to a frequently overlooked relationship dynamic: what happens when one person’s emotional survival gradually becomes another person’s responsibility. Through real-world clinical stories, neuroscience, and practical exercises, he teaches readers how to set healthy boundaries while preserving empathy—and without sacrificing themselves in the process. He also addresses a growing but underrecognized public health issue affecting spouses, adult children, parents, siblings, and caregivers whose own lives have gradually become consumed by managing another person’s anxiety, decisions, and emotional regulation. He is a board-certified clinical psychiatrist. As the Founder and CEO of Mindful Care, he pioneered the nation’s first same-day mental health and addiction treatment urgent care mode.
