Jackie, Chris and Joe talk about the most fertile ground for addiction: Isolation. Why do we love it and why does it kill us? Can it be healthy? And what happens in treatment when a group of people "isolates together"?

Chris and Joe sit down with Ashlee and Erika to talk institutionalization, terrible parenting and the prospects of bus stop dating.

The scenario that caused me to look at trauma replication differently.
