53 - Dysfunctional Family Systems w/ Kevin Petersen, LMFT
In today's episode, we are joined by fellow recovering shitshow and therapist Kevin Petersen (LMFT). Kevin began his journey of recovery in May 1991 and has been sober ever since. He shares about his experience growing up with an addicted mother and workaholic mother, his journey to heal from the impact of his dysfunctional upbringing, and his experience in helping families navigate the addiction & recovery process.
After a successful career in sales and marketing, Kevin pivoted in the addiction treatment field and obtained a Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from Regis University. He spent three and a half years working at Arapahoe Douglas Mental Health Network as an in-home therapist, case manager, crisis evaluator and outpatient therapist for Child and Family Services, he also worked part time for The Bridge House, ADMHN’s Acute Treatment Unit, as a Mental Health Technician and Counselor.
