Co-parenting is never easy—but when your ex displays narcissistic or emotionally abusive behaviors, it can feel impossible. You're not just managing logistics—you're protecting your peace, supporting your children, and trying not to lose yourself in the chaos. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Hawkins, founder of the Marriage Recovery Center and the Emotional Abuse Institute. With over four decades of experience and more than 40 books to his name, Dr. Hawkins brings deep insight into what it takes to stay grounded and emotionally safe while co-parenting with a narcissist. We explore how to shift from feeling powerless to powerful—not by changing the other parent, but by transforming how you show up. Dr. Hawkins and I talk about boundaries, emotional regulation, and how to support your children without getting pulled into manipulation or conflict. This conversation is about empowerment, not blame. If you've been walking on eggshells, exhausted by drama, and worried about your kids' well-being, this episode will bring clarity, courage, and practical tools to help you anchor yourself and protect what matters most.

In this episode of Dollars to Dreams, host Tyler Hafford is joined by Penobscot Financial Advisors' Chief Operations and Compliance Officer, Hannah Tackett, for another installment in a new series on cyber scams. They dive into the alarming aspects of two successive scams, and share the story of “Stacy”, a victim who lost about half of all of her wealth to online romance scams. Tyler and Hannah break down the tactics scammers use to prey on emotions and trust, and they offer invaluable tips on how you can protect yourself from falling victim to these increasingly sophisticated frauds. YOU'LL LEARN: How the Scam Works: A look at how scammers build trust and exploit victims through months of emotional manipulation, leading them to invest large sums of money into fraudulent opportunities and turn them against their families, financial institutions, and better judgment. Red Flags to Watch For: Practical insights on what to look out for, including the dangers of engaging with people you've never met in person, and investment “opportunities” that don't include paperwork or legal interaction whatsoever. Protecting Yourself: Actionable strategies for safeguarding your finances, including how to spot warning signs and the importance of having a trusted contact to help you make clear decisions during emotional moments. The Dangers of Emotional Manipulation in Financial Scams: Learn how scammers play on your basic desires for love and financial security, and how to avoid becoming a target.

Whether you feel like you're walking on eggshells around someone or someone tries to guilt you into things you don't want to do, emotional manipulation can drain you of mental strength. The good news is, once you know how to spot the red flags, you can take back your power and stay mentally strong. Some of the things I talk about today are: The 5 red flags that are signs of emotional manipulation The damage you may experience on the receiving end of it Why it's important to note why it happens without excusing it The psychology behind why people use emotional manipulation Five strategies to protect yourself and the responses that are most effective How to set boundaries with emotionally manipulative people How to recognize when it may be time to walk away Mentally Strong App Get mental strength coaching (subscribers only) — ⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode 246 Exercise⁠ ⁠ Subscribe to the app to unlock all the features — ⁠⁠⁠⁠MentallyStrong.Downpat.Ai⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with the Show Buy a copy of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit my website — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AmyMorinLCSW.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors HoneyLove — Save 20% Off Honeylove by going to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠honeylove.com/STRONGER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #honeylovepod CocoaVia — Get 20% off with code Amy2025 at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cocoavia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Whether it is politicians saying that we can deport illegal immigrants because you are separating children from their parents or the bill needs to pass because it is the biggest spending cut ever, politicians lead primarily with stirring up emotions.

In this gripping episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt takes a deep dive into the often-misunderstood world of psychopaths and sociopaths. With her unique blend of insight and humor, Brianne explores the key differences between these two personality types, unraveling the complexities of their behaviors and the underlying causes that shape them.Throughout the episode, Brianne shares her experiences working with individuals who exhibit these traits, emphasizing that while psychopaths are often born with certain genetic predispositions, sociopaths develop their behaviors through environmental factors and trauma. She highlights the stark contrasts in their behaviors—psychopaths tend to be controlled and manipulative, while sociopaths exhibit impulsive and erratic tendencies.Listeners will gain valuable insights into the characteristics that define these personalities, from the lack of empathy and emotional connections to the calculated and often charming facade that psychopaths can present. Brianne provides practical advice for recognizing and protecting oneself from these individuals, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that understanding personality disorders can have on our relationships and well-being. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to navigate their interactions with empathy and awareness, all while safeguarding their own mental health.

In this episode, we explore how your nervous system, subconscious, and body are constantly scanning for emotional safety—even when your logical mind doesn't quite know why something feels off. You'll learn why your body might respond to subtle relational red flags long before your brain catches on, especially when someone seems kind, generous, or emotionally available on the surface. These intuitive hits aren't irrational—they're rooted in lived experience, stored patterns, and how your brain and body protect you. We also look at how disconnection from your body often starts in childhood—when you had to override your instincts to survive or stay connected. As adults, this can make it harder to trust yourself, your gut, or your internal signals. But healing doesn't require perfection—it starts with quiet awareness, small check-ins, and beginning to believe your body again.   Three Takeaways: Sometimes what feels “off” isn't about logic—it's your body remembering what it learned before you could name it. The people who drain or confuse you the most often disregard your boundaries in subtle ways. Emotional safety is felt, not proven. You're allowed to trust what your body is telling you.   Your nervous system doesn't need evidence.  It needs you to listen.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this powerful continuation of our conversation with Shawn and Amanda from the Touchy Subjects podcast, we dive deeper into the often-overlooked tactics of emotional and social abuse. While physical violence is more visible, the wounds caused by coercion, control, isolation, and emotional manipulation can be just as damaging—and harder to identify.

Shawn and Amanda offer expert insight, lived experiences, and practical tools to help listeners identify red flags in their own or loved ones' relationships. This episode also features a compelling role-play to model what supportive conversations can sound like when someone discloses abuse, reminding us all how vital empathy, safety, and non-judgment are in these moments.  What You'll Learn: The difference between emotional and physical abuse—and why both matter The 8 spokes of the Power & Control Wheel and what they look like in real life How abusers use privilege, isolation, and economic dependency to maintain control Why consent must be enthusiastic—and how coercion shows up in relationships The importance of recognizing patterns early and having a support system What to say (and not say) when someone opens up about abuse Vote for Eve Hall as Best Educator and Best Educator Website at the ASN Awards: If you're enjoying the show and feel it's been helpful, I'd be honored if you could take a moment to vote for me as Best Educator and Best Educator Website in this year's ASN Awards.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Zach sits down with Dr. Shannon Curry—clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and founder of the Curry Psychology Group—for a nuanced discussion about what happens when couples “team up” against their therapist in session. Drawing on her forensic background and deep clinical insight, Shannon explores the subtle dynamics of triangulation, conflict avoidance, and the emotional strategies people learn early in life to stay safe in relationships. Together, Zach and Shannon talk about how the therapeutic space can trigger old wounds, what it takes to speak hard truths in love, and why being emotionally honest is often the most generous thing a partner can do. With warmth, curiosity, and real-life anecdotes, this episode speaks directly to the complexity of partnership—and the courage it takes to grow within one. Key Takeaways When Couples Turn on the TherapistShannon shares how one partner will sometimes rush to “protect” the other during difficult feedback, forming an unconscious alliance that derails growth—and puts the therapist in the role of the enemy. Emotional Manipulation as a Survival StrategyMany clients learn passive or controlling behaviors in childhood because direct expression wasn't safe. These aren't character flaws—they're adaptive tools that once worked. Conflict as a MirrorThe messiest moments in therapy often reflect old attachment wounds. Shannon emphasizes that when conflict emerges in session, it's not a sign of failure—it's a signal of something important beneath the surface.

It's the final Rom-Com Vom—and we're going out with a true vom. DB is joined by the brilliant Kate from CRAMPED to dissect No Strings Attached, a film so bafflingly bad it makes you double-check that yes, it really did come out in 2011. They unpack the film's deeply weird messages about women, work, and love, from its rare-but-still-weird period scene to its tired idea that ambitious women just need to be “fixed” by emotionally unavailable men.

In this episode, Tony Brewer exposes the trap of viral religion and spiritual busyness—a form of Christianity that looks active but lacks obedience. From clickbait memes to emotional manipulation masked as faith, Tony lays bare how today's digital expressions can simulate faithfulness while actually undermining it.He challenges listeners to examine the difference between genuine obedience and superficial gestures, reminding us that true service to God is rooted in scripture, not feelings. Tony also shares updates on collaborative work with Aaron, ideas for promoting his Locals community, and the broader challenge of redirecting people from performative Christianity to purposeful discipleship.This conversation is both convicting and equipping—calling believers to return to the Word, return to the work, and follow the Shepherd who still leads His sheep.

We live in a culture of extremes—where the loudest voice wins, emotional manipulation masquerades as influence, and overcorrection has become the new dysfunction. We see it in our families. We feel it in our churches. And when it finally shows up in our relationships, we wonder why everything feels so chaotic. This week on Win Today, Manny Arango is here to pull the curtain back on the deeper issues no one wants to admit. Together, we're talking about the generational cycles of chaos we've inherited, how manipulation uses fear to gain control, and why overcorrecting for past pain only produces more dysfunction. And at the center of it all? The worship of self, disguised as confidence, but rooted in pride. In this conversation, Manny exposes: The hidden tactics of emotional manipulation that we normalize How to recognize and break generational cycles of chaos Why overcorrection is not healing—it's reactionary bondage What it really means to dethrone the god of self and let Christ take His rightful place   If you're tired of pretending, if you're sick of spiritual language being used to control, and if you're ready to break the cycles that have defined your family and your faith, this episode will confront you, challenge you, and call you higher.
