Bridging Fifty Years: A Historical Snapshot

The Bridge to Recovery was established in 1972 by co-founders Paul and Carol Cannon who became personally aware of the effects caused to people suffering from unresolved emotional pain while working with students in Michigan. They devoted their own education and career endeavors to further understanding Codependency, and became dedicated to creating a space where people could find healing from such emotional pain: The Bridge to Recovery.

Carol became a leader in the Codependency movement through her speaking, writing, and teaching. She is the author of the books “Hooked on Unhappiness” and “Never Good Enough.” The program curriculum developed by Paul & Carol with decades of success at TBTR is still very much used today, in addition to the latest evidence-based approaches to trauma care.

Paul & Carol, never-ending in their love for one another, sadly passed away just months apart in 2020, but their imprint on our program lives on eternally.
