SHOW NOTES: On this show… we're exploring the sneaky ways we lose control—without even realizing we've handed it over. Have you ever found yourself doing something—again—and thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” Maybe it's late-night scrolling, that one more drink, the need to say “yes” when you're screaming “no” inside. These patterns creep in, settle down, and before you know it, they've built a little nest in your life. We call them habits, but sometimes, they're more than that. Sometimes they're hangups, hurts, or full-blown addictions masquerading as routines. And here's the kicker—they don't just take up space; they slowly take the wheel. What if you're not as in control as you thought? What if what you think is manageable is actually managing you? Today, we're going deeper—not to shame or scold, but to shine a gentle light. Because denial is tricky. It whispers that you're fine, that it's not affecting anyone else. But the truth is, what controls you, changes you. It touches your relationships, your work, your peace. And the hardest part? Admitting it. Facing yourself in the mirror and saying, “This isn't working anymore.” But here's the good news: awareness is the first, most powerful step toward freedom. So today, we're cracking open the doors of truth with compassion, curiosity, and a roadmap to reclaiming your power. Before we can take control back, we have to understand what we're really dealing with. So let's break it down. Habit vs. Addiction A habit is something we do regularly, often without thinking—like brushing your teeth or making coffee first thing in the morning. Habits can be helpful, neutral, or harmful. They're built through repetition and reinforced by small rewards (hello, dopamine!). On the other hand, addiction takes things further. It's compulsive. It's often used to escape, numb, or gain relief. And it continues despite negative consequences. The line between habit and addiction can blur, especially when the habit becomes something we rely on emotionally or physically. Denial and Self-Deception Denial is a powerful defense mechanism. It protects us—from shame, fear, discomfort—but it also keeps us stuck. When we're in denial, we minimize, rationalize, or outright ignore what's happening. We say things like “It's not that bad,” “I can stop anytime,” or “It's not hurting anyone.” But these lies we tell ourselves can build a wall so thick that even when we're suffering, we can't admit we need help. The longer we stay there, the harder it is to see a way out. The Grief of Letting Go Yes, grief. Because even when we're giving up something toxic, we're still letting go of something familiar. This is where the Five Stages of Grief come into play: Denial – “This isn't a problem. I've got this under control.” Anger – “Why do I even have to deal with this? It's not fair.” Bargaining – “If I only do it on weekends, that's fine, right?” Depression – “I feel helpless. I'm tired of trying and failing.” Acceptance – “This is real, and I'm ready to do something about it.” We grieve because we're changing. We're letting go of the version of ourselves we thought we needed—and that's not easy. But it is powerful. The Invisible Impact Here's the truth: you don't live in a vacuum. Whatever is controlling you—whether it's overworking, people-pleasing, numbing, or isolating—it doesn't just affect you. It impacts your energy, your presence, your relationships, and your potential. The scary part? You might not even know the full extent until you start making a change.

Dr. Justine Weber joins Susan Guthrie to share what it really looks like to navigate a relationship with someone who exhibits narcissistic or high-conflict behavior - from the moment someone starts questioning things to the long road of healing on the other side. Together, Susan and Justine walk through the five stages of divorcing a narcissist, from the first signs of doubt to post-divorce healing.

As both a therapist and coach, she's helped countless individuals move from confusion and survival mode to clarity and stability.

In this episode of the Feel Free Again Podcast, I sit down with Brian Magee, an accomplished grief recovery specialist and former funeral director from Alberta, Canada. Brian shares openly about his journey—from facing significant personal losses to discovering the profound impact of the Grief Recovery Method. Together, we delve deeply into how grief manifests beyond death, exploring its wide-ranging impact on life's significant changes and transitions. Our conversation also highlights Brian's innovative approach to integrating grief recovery support within the funeral home setting. We discuss the challenges faced by funeral directors and the hesitations many funeral homes have around adopting new grief support programs. Brian provides invaluable insights into how effective aftercare not only meets a crucial emotional need in the community but also greatly enhances the reputation and relational bonds of the funeral home within its community. We further address common misconceptions around grief, critically examining the well-known five stages of grief proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and discuss why a practical, emotionally-driven method often surpasses intellectual approaches in truly helping people heal. This episode emphasizes a clear message: unresolved grief requires active emotional processing, and Brian's insights offer powerful guidance on how to achieve emotional completion and healing.

In this episode of Energy Medicine, Dr. Mary sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute, to explore the profound effects of unhealed betrayal on our health, work, and relationships.Betrayal isn't just emotional—it can manifest physically, mentally, and more, leading to chronic stress, illness, and a loss of trust. Dr. Debi shares the groundbreaking discoveries from her PhD research, revealing why betrayal is a distinct trauma requiring its own healing process.Together, they dive into the five proven stages of healing, common symptoms of Post-Betrayal Syndrome, and the critical shifts needed to move forward. If you're struggling to rebuild after a betrayal, this conversation offers powerful insights to help reclaim your personal power and thrive beyond the pain.Tune in to learn how to recognize betrayal's hidden impact and take the first steps toward true transformation.Key Takeaways: Betrayal as a Unique Trauma: Unlike other traumas, betrayal shatters trust and creates deep wounds in identity, relationships, and self-worth. Post-Betrayal Syndrome: Unhealed betrayal can result in physical, emotional, and mental symptoms, including chronic stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and an inability to trust. The Five Stages of Healing from Betrayal: First Stage – Before the trauma happens Second Stage – Shock & Trauma (D-Day): The moment betrayal is discovered, leading to emotional and physical distress. Third Stage – Survival Mode: Instincts take over, and people focus on just getting through each day, often staying stuck in anger or self-protection. Fourth Stage – Adjusting to a New Normal: A shift begins as individuals acknowledge the reality of their situation and start making changes. Fifth Stage – Rebuilding the Self: Deep healing occurs as self-worth is restored, and new, healthier patterns emerge. Why Time Alone Doesn't Heal Betrayal: Many people carry the wounds of betrayal for decades, proving that healing must be intentional and actively pursued.Contact Dr. Debi Silber:Podcast: https://thepbtinstitute.com/podcast/ Website: https://thepbtinstitute.com/ Quiz: https://thepbtinstitute.com/pbs-quiz/ Books & Other Resources: https://thepbtinstitute.com/store/ Contact Dr. Mary:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.maryesanders/Free Gift: https://www.drmarysanders.com/meditations

Relaxing Prayer Meditation to Inspire Positive ThoughtsIn this episode ofMeditating on Self-Love Podcast, we'll focus on releasing negative thoughts and embracing God's peace.

In this week's episode, we continue our deep dive into guilt—an emotion that often holds us back and prevents us from moving forward. Last week, we explored the many ways guilt can surface and strategies for addressing it. Today, we're focusing on areas of guilt that deserve their own spotlight, particularly in friendships, romantic relationships, and family dynamics. Through relatable examples and actionable advice, we'll help you shift guilt from a roadblock to a motivator for positive change. Key Topics Covered: 1. Outgrowing Friendships Many of us feel guilty when we outgrow friendships, especially those that no longer bring us joy or align with our current selves. It's common to keep going through the motions, showing up for habitual get-togethers despite feeling disconnected. Takeaway: Relationships evolve. Recognize when it's time to let go, and allow yourself and your friends to grow in new directions. Holding on out of guilt serves no one. 2. Falling Out of Love Betrayal often triggers feelings of falling out of love, but these feelings may mask deeper emotions like anger, sadness, or fear. Before making decisions about a relationship, it's important to work through the healing process and determine if the love has truly faded. Takeaway: Move through The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough before making major decisions. If the relationship has run its course, give yourself permission to honor your truth without guilt. 3. Choosing Sides After Divorce Navigating friendships after a divorce can lead to feelings of guilt when choosing sides. Ask yourself: Does choosing a side feel right in your heart? Or is it creating unnecessary guilt and discomfort? Takeaway: Focus on what feels authentic to you. If closure or conversation is needed, take those steps to find peace. 4. Breaking Up the Family A common guilt trap for the betrayed is feeling responsible for breaking up the family, even when it was the betrayer's actions that caused the split. Takeaway: You did not break up the family. Consequences of betrayal are not your burden to carry. Seek support to rebuild your confidence and self-worth. 5. Creating Fun on a Budget Post-divorce, many feel guilty about not being able to provide the same extravagant experiences for their children. Takeaway: It's not about extravagance; it's about connection and creativity. Simple, meaningful experiences can create lasting memories. Example: A client created a memorable RV trip with her kids, mapping out stops and adding themed activities, all on a budget. 6. Guilt as a Roadblock Guilt often serves as an excuse to avoid difficult but necessary changes. Takeaway: Use guilt as a motivator for action, not as a tool to maintain the status quo. Remember: Hard now, easy later; easy now, hard later. Choosing growth may be challenging in the moment, but it leads to lasting peace and clarity. Memorable Quotes: “Relationships are here for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Recognize the difference and honor the role they've played.” “Hard now, easy later. Easy now, hard later. Take your pick because it's going to be one of those two.” “Guilt isn't a productive emotion unless it motivates you toward positive action.” Actionable Steps: Reflect on the areas in your life where guilt is holding you back. Consider how you can shift guilt into action by having honest conversations or making aligned choices. Embrace change as a pathway to growth, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.

Remember: Growth and healing are within your reach—all it takes is the courage to begin.

Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive deep into the overwhelming emotions that follow betrayal and how to navigate through them. Betrayal is unlike any other trauma—it shatters trust, self-worth, and your sense of safety. But healing is possible, and this episode will guide you through seven actionable steps to help you regain control, rebuild your foundation, and start moving toward your breakthrough. Key Topics Covered: Betrayal as a Unique Trauma Betrayal affects the self deeply, shattering confidence, worthiness, and trust. Unlike other traumas, betrayal comes from those closest to us, making the pain more profound. Insights from the TEDx talk Do You Have Post-Betrayal Syndrome? highlight the raw and all-consuming pain of betrayal. The Seven Steps to Regain Control Acknowledge and Honor Your Feelings Avoid numbing, distracting, or suppressing emotions; instead, face and feel them to start healing. Prolonging emotions keeps you stuck in pain and post-betrayal syndrome. Breathe to Ground Yourself Use simple breathing exercises (e.g., inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4) to regulate your nervous system and regain calm. Establish a Sense of Safety Create a physical and emotional space where you feel secure—a retreat to regroup and think clearly. Anchor Yourself in the Present Counter overwhelming “what if” and “why” thoughts by grounding yourself through physical sensations, like touching your arm or holding an object. Seek the Right Support Surround yourself with people and professionals who understand betrayal trauma and can guide you forward. Be cautious of well-meaning friends or professionals who may unintentionally keep you stuck. Focus on What You Can Control Reclaim a sense of agency by focusing on small, manageable aspects of your life, like daily habits or your environment. Visualize Your Future Self Envision a healed and empowered version of yourself, even if it's just one small step ahead. This vision becomes the foundation for your transformation. Why Support Matters The Danger of the Wrong Support: Support groups or friends may inadvertently encourage staying stuck in the problem rather than working toward healing. Therapists or counselors without expertise in betrayal trauma may solidify your position in Stage 3 (the hardest stage to move through). The Power of the Right Support: Seek communities and professionals that inspire growth, offer actionable strategies, and help you move through the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough. Resources to Support Your Healing Reclaim Program at The PBT Institute: A holistic, research-based program designed to guide you through the Five Stages of Healing. Access certified coaches, daily live classes, somatic and mindset healing, and open Q&A sessions to address your specific needs. Community and Expert Guidance: Join a community of people who've been there and come out stronger. Learn from their journeys and gain clarity on your path forward. Key Takeaways: Healing from betrayal is not only possible—it's predictable with the right tools and support. Your emotions, while overwhelming, are valid and essential to process. Avoid numbing or distracting yourself. By grounding yourself, reclaiming control, and focusing on your future self, you can rebuild your life on your terms. Don't stay stuck. There is a proven path forward, and you deserve to move beyond your pain into a life filled with meaning and strength. Links and Resources: The PBT Institute Learn more about the Reclaim program: Blog post: Feeling Overwhelmed and In Shock After Betrayal: 7 Steps to Regain Control TEDx Talk: Do You Have Post-Betrayal Syndrome? Closing Message: Remember, betrayal may have happened to you, but it doesn't define you. You are worthy of healing, and with the right support, you can transform even the most painful experiences into a story of resilience, growth, and purpose. Let us help you take that first step toward your breakthrough.
Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive into two powerful themes that have been coming up recently within the PBT Institute community: learning to "agree to disagree" and evaluating "what price you're paying for your sanity." These insights will help you better understand your relationships, set boundaries, and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Key Topics Covered: 1. Agree to Disagree The Struggle of Conflicting Perspectives: When you encounter someone with very different opinions—whether about politics, health, or work—you may feel the need to defend your perspective or change theirs. However, this often leads to friction and emotional depletion. The Physical and Emotional Toll: These repeated, draining exchanges can negatively impact your physical and emotional health. Over time, the anticipation of these interactions can trigger stress responses, like feeling queasy when the phone rings. The Solution: Sometimes, the best course of action is to "agree to disagree." This decision can preserve your sanity and allow for healthier interactions by steering clear of contentious topics. 2. The Price You're Paying for Your Sanity Understanding the "Window of Willingness": This concept helps you evaluate whether someone is open and capable of making amends or if they are unwilling to take responsibility. The "window" ranges from fully open to completely shut, indicating the potential to rebuild a relationship. Levels of Willingness: Level 1 (Fully Open): The person takes 100% responsibility, shows deep remorse, and seeks to make things right. Level 2: They take some responsibility but include excuses ("I did it because…"). Level 3: They blame you for their actions, causing confusion and emotional harm. Level 4 (Completely Shut): They deny responsibility entirely and may gaslight you, claiming you are at fault. How to Respond: Levels 1 & 2: There is potential to rebuild if you choose to. Levels 3 & 4: Prioritize your healing and move on, as these people at the current time are unlikely to change in their current state. 3. Your Healing Journey: Recognize the level of willingness in those around you and focus on your own healing. Move through the Five Stages of Healing (from betrayal to breakthrough) to gain clarity and strength, allowing you to make decisions from a place of empowerment rather than fear. Key Takeaways: Protect your energy by agreeing to disagree on topics that lead to conflict. Evaluate the willingness of others to take responsibility for their actions using the Window of Willingness. If you're dealing with someone at a Level 3 or 4, prioritize your healing and let go of trying to change them. Your sanity, health, and next chapter depend on your ability to move through the healing stages and make clear, empowered decisions.

Learn more about the Window of Willingness and how to identify it in your relationships. Remember: healing begins with you. Focus on your well-being and take proactive steps toward a brighter future.
