Hi! I’m Marshall Burtcher.

Before I found my freedom from codependency, I was suffering in a nightmare of cyclical abuse with my parents, stuck in a dead-end marriage, and barely coping with my shame, panic, and trauma.

I found myself on the edge of suicide, trying to run from the monsters in my head and the voices that told me I was worthless, harmful, and I deserved all the crazy-making, emotionally harmful behavior I’d lived with for over 30 years.

My codependency had led me to destroy my marriage, my financial security, and my friendships because I felt so entirely unworthy and so desparately needed others to validate me so I could feel worthy.

I believed that to be lovable, I must be loved first.  Without being loved, I was no longer lovable.

This changed when I took a leap of faith and decided that codependency and my toxic behaviors were a result of my experience, not the expression of who I am.

The healing that occurred within a year of that choice was so profound that I became an advocate for a new point of view: that codependency was a survival response to the threat of being discarded.  I call it, “The Discard Trauma”.

Fast-forward from 2008 to today and I have helped over 750+ people find happiness, some for the first time, with my unique systems of healing.

Today I’m a proud father of 2, a fun boyfriend, and a mentor that is obsessed with eliminating codependency in your world and making happiness a day-to-day reality for you.
