Podcasts about Trauma

In this episode, author, podcaster, and speaker Mary DeMuth returns to share the inspiration behind her latest work, which spotlights overwhelmed women in the Bible—women whose stories have often been minimized or overlooked. From Mary the mother of Jesus to Hagar to the widow with two mites, these women model faith, resilience, and wholehearted trust in God. We talk about how Christmas can be both beautiful and heavy. Mary opens up about her own seasons of overwhelm, from her water breaking on Christmas Eve to sleeping in a barn the week before Christmas. She reminds us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived through the deepest fears a mother can face, yet she remained faithful as a disciple. Here is some of what we cover:  Why Christmas often heightens grief, trauma, and unmet longings The consumerism of the holiday season vs. the simplicity of God with us What Shalom really means: wholehearted, whole-bodied peace rooted in surrender Jesus' care for the overlooked, the aging, and the marginalized The definition of “Whelm” which  refers to out-of-control stress,  “overwhelmed” is that same stress amplified beyond capacity Connect with Mary DeMuth:  Instagram: Mary DeMuth // Healing from Trauma (@marydemuth) Facebook:  Mary DeMuth Website:  Mary DeMuth Links Mentioned:   Nobody's Mother: By Sandra Glahn 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge: By Mary DeMuth Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth The Most Overwhelmed Women of the Bible: By Mary DeMuth Podcast - Pray Every Day Mary DeMuth Church Hurt Checklist Related Episodes: Building the Family You Never Had :: Mary DeMuth [Ep 156] Nobody's Mother :: Dr. Sandra Glahn [Ep 443] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Featured Sponsors:  Green Chef: Go to Greenchef.com/ALONEGRAZA use the code ALONEGRAZA to get started with 50% off Green Chef + FREE Graza Olive Oil Set in your 2nd and 3rd boxes.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this live 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches start with real life wins and a behind the scenes look at building a traditional family and future homestead, from cutting almost $100,000 of debt and lowering monthly expenses to their goal of buying land by the end of 2026. They talk about Patreon growth, retreats, kids evolving emotionally, and Chris's upcoming daily affirmation book with light lunar and planetary touches, giving you a grounded picture of what intentional marriage, parenting, and money stewardship actually look like in real time. You also hear a powerful success story from a fiancé who carried his partner through multiple deaths in the family, grad school, and even a very sick dog, then used the podcast to lose weight, repair their sex life, and step into traditional marriage roles with more communication, intimacy, and leadership. From there they dive deep into a 25 year old woman's email about leaving an abusive relationship, growing up with a narcissistic mother, living with BPD, and feeling stuck in hyper independence while secretly craving a traditional marriage as a stay at home mom, homemaker, and submissive wife. Chris and Peaches unpack shame, ego, and family control, challenge the “never depend on a man” narrative, and give practical tools for healing narcissistic abuse, setting boundaries, asking for help daily, and finding therapy and community that fits a more traditional woman. They also walk through her quarter life crisis, fear that it is “too late” to find a husband, and her early steps toward a personal relationship with Christ and God, explaining how to read the Bible, question religion, and build faith without surrendering your mind to a pastor or denomination. If you are a hyper independent woman who wants to be a traditional wife, a stay at home mom, and a homemaker, or you are navigating narcissistic family dynamics, abusive exes, BPD, or late in life faith, this Christian leaning relationship and marriage podcast episode will speak directly to you and give you clear, no nonsense steps forward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Sem ela, o Naruhodo sequer teria sentido de existir. Você nos ajuda demais não só quando ouve, mas também quando espalha episódios para familiares, amigos - e, por que não?, inimigos.A segunda mensagem é: existe uma outra forma de apoiar o Naruhodo, a ciência e o pensamento científico - apoiando financeiramente o nosso projeto de podcast semanal independente, que só descansa no recesso do fim de ano.Manter o Naruhodo tem custos e despesas: servidores, domínio, pesquisa, produção, edição, atendimento, tempo... Enfim, muitas coisas para cobrir - e, algumas delas, em dólar.A gente sabe que nem todo mundo pode apoiar financeiramente. E tá tudo bem. Tente mandar um episódio para alguém que você conhece e acha que vai gostar.A gente sabe que alguns podem, mas não mensalmente. E tá tudo bem também. Você pode apoiar quando puder e cancelar quando quiser. O apoio mínimo é de 15 reais e pode ser feito pela plataforma ORELO ou pela plataforma APOIA-SE. Para quem está fora do Brasil, temos até a plataforma PATREON.É isso, gente. Estamos enfrentando um momento importante e você pode ajudar a combater o negacionismo e manter a chama da ciência acesa. Então, fica aqui o nosso convite: apóie o Naruhodo como puder.bit.ly/naruhodo-no-orelo

Traumaheilung darf mehr sein, als nur Symptome zu lindern. Sie kann der Beginn einer Transformation sein. Der Ansatz des Posttraumatischen Wachstums (PTW), entwickelt von Richard Tedeschi, geht über die bloße Wiederherstellung des Ausgangszustandes hinaus. Es geht nicht nur darum, Ängste zu reduzieren oder Flashbacks zu stoppen, sondern darum, die durch das Trauma erschütterten Grundüberzeugungen neu aufzubauen. Im besten Fall führt dieser schmerzhafte Prozess der Auseinandersetzung zu einer positiven Neuorientierung des Lebens, zu stärkeren Beziehungen, einer tieferen Wertschätzung des Lebens und der Entdeckung persönlicher Stärke, die man vorher nicht für möglich gehalten hätte. Heilung kann also auch Wachstum bedeuten. In der Praxis ist die Symptomlinderung der notwendige erste Schritt. Der Übergang hin zum Posttraumatischen Wachstum erfordert eine bewusste Entscheidung des Therapeuten und des Klienten, über die reine "Reparatur" hinauszugehen und gezielt nach Sinn und Perspektive zu suchen, was leider häufig über den Rahmen der Basis-Traumatherapie hinausgeht.

Covert narcissism and trauma quietly teach adults and children that silence feels safer than honesty. If you've noticed yourself going quiet, choosing your words carefully, or avoiding hard conversations altogether — or you're watching your children withdraw, shut down, or stop sharing — this episode explains why that happens and what safety actually has to do with healing. In this episode, we explore: Why people stop talking in emotionally unsafe relationships How covert narcissistic dynamics punish honesty without obvious aggression The different types of safety required for healing (physical, emotional, psychological, and conversational) How children learn when it is — and isn't — safe to speak Everyday examples of unsafe vs. safe responses in adult and parent-child conversations Why silence is often a trauma response, not a lack of caring What begins to change when safety is slowly restored This episode is for anyone who has lived in the confusion of covert narcissism, emotional abuse, or chronic invalidation — and for parents who want to understand what helps their children feel safe enough to heal and speak again.

Quick and dirty, Luis outlines the science between insulin and fat storage. It's not the least amount of calories that is the golden ticket, instead, it's the least amount of glucose spike. He teaches us which foods, and the ideal combination of those foods, that results in the least amount of glucose release, so that the body goes into fat burning mode instead of fat storage mode. An important factor in the equation is addressing emotions and unmet needs that drive food cravings so we can learn to meet our own needs rather than bypassing them with foods that either depresses or stimulate our bodies. So grab a snack and be ready to take notes, this little gem is jam packed with info. You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/weight-and-trauma You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied Masculinity group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-mens-group----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Many founders believe the exit is the finish line, but what happens after the deal closes often reveals a deeper challenge. In this solo episode, Jerome Myers explores why so many exited founders unknowingly rebuild the very businesses and lifestyles they were desperate to escape. He introduces the concept of the “ghost business” and explains how unprocessed identity loss, fear, and unresolved trauma quietly pull founders back into familiar patterns of overwork and self-imposed prisons.  Through powerful metaphors, real-world observations, and reflective questions, Jerome reframes the exit as a starting line rather than an ending. He offers a path toward clarity, freedom, and intentional post-exit living. [00:00 – 03:15] The Ghost Business That Follows Every Founder Many founders rebuild businesses not from purpose, but from discomfort with stillness The post-exit “next thing” often exists to avoid more profound identity questions Fulfillment is mistaken for activity, leading to busy work instead of meaningful work [03:16 – 06:45] When Identity Is Tied to Output Founders often define their worth by productivity and problem solving Silence after exit can feel like irrelevance rather than freedom Losing daily validation creates anxiety and self-doubt [06:46 – 09:40] Free Time Can Become a Prison Most founders have never truly experienced rest If time is not intentionally allocated, it becomes overwhelming Avoiding what matters most is often disguised as dedication to work [09:41 – 12:55] Trauma, Motivation, and the Ghost of the Past Unprocessed exits function like unresolved trauma Motivation driven by fear replaces inspiration driven by purpose Founders recreate old patterns even when circumstances have changed [12:56 – 15:40] The Signs You Never Really Exited New ventures feel emotionally and operationally familiar The same stress loops and overcommitment reappear A liquidity event without inner change is just a relocation of the prison [15:41 – 20:00] Exiting To Something, Not Just From Something True post-exit success requires a clear North Star Freedom without direction creates drift, not peace The exit is the starting line for identity rebirth, not the end Key Quotes“Motivation runs when fear is chasing you. Inspiration runs because you chose the destination.” - Jerome Myers“Most founders don't rebuild businesses because they need money. They rebuild them because they don't know who they are without one.” - Jerome Myers Join industry leaders shaping the future and secure your spot at the Exit Planning Summit today! https://exitplanningsummit.com/speakers Ready for your next chapter?Start Your Assessment Now

Poet and essayist Carol Ann Davis (Fairfield University) joins Evan Rosa for a searching conversation on violence, childhood, and the moral discipline of attention in the aftermath of Sandy Hook. Reflecting on trauma, parenting, childhood, poetry, and faith, Davis resists tidy narratives and invites listeners to dwell with grief, healing, beauty, and pain without resolution.“I don't believe life feels like beginnings, middles, and ends.”In this episode, Davis reflects on how lived trauma narrows attention, reshapes language, and unsettles conventional storytelling. Together they discuss poetry as dwelling rather than explanation, childhood and formation amid violence, image versus narrative, moral imagination, and the challenge of staying present to suffering.Episode Highlights“Nothing has happened at Hawley School. Please hear me. I have opened every door and seen your children.”“And that was what it is not to suffer. This is the not-suffering, happy-ending story.”“I'm always narrowing focus.”“I think stories lie to us sometimes.”“I think of the shooting as a nail driven into the tree.”“I'm capable of anything. I'm afraid I'm capable of anything.”“I tried to love and out of me came poison.”About Carol Ann DavisCarol Ann Davis is a poet, essayist, and professor of English at Fairfield University. She is the author of the poetry collections Psalm and Atlas Hour, and the essay collection The Nail in the Tree: Essays on Art, Violence, and Childhood.

*Listener Discretion: This episode includes discussion of graphic violence and disturbing content. Some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care while listening and consider skipping this episode if you are sensitive to these topics. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Charu sits down with Bernard “Chalky” White to unpack a resilience-first life story that goes from childhood abuse to policing to a bold midlife pivot into ski instructing and global travel. The core framework is brutally simple and weirdly powerful. Two questions that cut through procrastination, fear and regret: “What if I don't?” and “What if I do?” Chalky explains how those questions helped him resign from a career he'd grown to hate, rebuild his identity and keep moving forward even after witnessing traumatic events on the job. If you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, low confidence or “I'm too late” energy, this conversation is a practical mindset reset focused on action, courage and mental health. About the Guest: Bernard “Chalky” White is a former UK police officer turned long-time ski instructor and author. He shares lessons from adversity, career reinvention and his book Keep Chewing the Granite: How Two Questions Can Change Your Life, built around a decision-making method designed to replace regret with forward motion. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable decision you practice when life feels heavy and your options look limited. The “What if I don't?” question exposes real costs. Regret, stagnation and staying stuck in a career or identity that drains you. The “What if I do?” question creates momentum. It turns fear into a plan and replaces avoidance with intentional action. Procrastination often hides clarity. Chalky knew what he wanted for years, then one honest night of questions forced a clean decision. Reinvention is allowed at any age. Starting skiing at 26 and building a decades-long path proves “late” is usually just a story. Trauma can shape you without owning you. Chalky acknowledges hard memories while choosing humor, meaning and forward progress. A strong mindset is not “positive vibes.” It is confronting consequences, choosing courage and doing the tough stuff anyway. Simple tools scale. Two questions can support mental health, career change, confidence and decision-making across business and life. When you feel stuck, ask better questions. Then take one small step that matches the answer you actually want to live.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) are traumatic events that occur in childhood and affect your sense of safety. ACEs have been found to be higher in prevalence among those who struggle with food and body image. As the experience of safety diminishes, the likelihood of binge eating increases.This is why you can't shame yourself for your food behaviors. They are not your fault. You've been made to believe that your food choices are your decision and that if you can't “control” yourself with food, then that is your fault. Yet, this couldn't be further from the truth. Your food and body image behaviors are a response to how your body is digesting your life experiences, not something you're actively choosing or out of a lack of willpower, or self sabotage. In this week's episode, I chat with Rachel Hobbs, Clinical Dietitian, Personal Trainer and Certified Therapist about: A compassion centered focused approach to nutritionHow early childhood experiences affect your food interactionsThe role of shame in food behaviorsHow the nervous system and past trauma shapes food behaviorsSeeing nutrition through a more nuanced perspectiveYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-impact-of-food-trauma-on-your-eating-behaviorsI hope that this episode reminds you to meet yourself with compassion these next couple of weeks as you navigate friends, food, and family this holiday season. With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Rachel: Website: https://www.dietitianrachel.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelhobbs/ Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Send us a textA few years after the targeting of my person and property and work began in 2009,  I wrestled with the shock of knowing that I had joined the endless list of citizens that are being brutally targeted by a militia of assailants who are highly trained ex military, ex intelligence and otherwise experts in the field of strategically targeting individuals.  We are targeted for a plethora of reasons. My lifelong educational work has been under the radar, where I have made profound strides in helping people to deal from devastation, despair and disease while raising awareness in accord with the ancient Vedic science of life. But somewhere in time, I was spotted by certain powerful groups who considered my work challenging to their agenda of controlling the narrative of health, healing and the supremacy over earth's intelligence. Or perhaps, they just hated that this brown skinned intelligent woman appeared to be arrogantly sojourning her own way with a free mind and open spirit. In Vedic tradition, karma is explicitly defined as unfolding by cosmic laws, I had to wrap my mind around the idea that before taking this birth my soul had signed up for a specific purpose and path of truth that would be riddled with obstacles. Indeed, the mind would not have registered for this deeply wounding journey peppered with violations across layers of the body, mind, spirit and space. It took me 14 years to share this deeply wounded story - the mired depths of it where horrors are transformed into lessons that serve the greater good of humanity.  I needed to scour beneath the dirge of it, put it in perspective, and allow myself to grow into the woman I am becoming instead of being withered by the experience. Just spouting off about the relentless daily/ nightly activities of being  targeted for the past 14 years would have offered no wisdom to help others.  unresolved traumas when unconsciously shared simply leach feeling of joy, resolve, and ease.  When every sentient part of your inner and outer space is plundered in the  way that mine has been, there is a deep sense of shame aroused by the violence - shame and grief connected to the vasanas  of  ancestors.   In Advaita Vedanta, we understand that perception is creation, that the act of seeing creates what we see. That the world rises at the same time that it perceived. Therefore the overarching truth of all that happens to us first starts within. Vasanas are seed tendencies that have been inculcated by ancestors. If the survivalism  seeds of fear, angst have been honed in generation DNA, what we inherit will continue to play out in our lives. Unless, we become aware of that what we project, manifests- the principle of Drishti Srishti Vada. Therefore the first truth to fathom in this episode is that all I share with you here has a source connection to my ancestral vasana. This statement does not condone the violent action of others, it simply provides a handle to the casual source within, that source to which we must continually return to air grievance, and heal. When attacks against us are relentless, it tends to leave no room for us to pause, for to forgive requires inner space. The only open door under these circumstances is to dive within….take stock of the vasanas you are harboring. It helps to create a more harmonious reality, from which you can grow and strengthen through the impossible.  Caroline Rena, the podcast host of Awakening SSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

You were told to chase green flags.You were never taught how some of them hide the biggest red flags of your life.In this episode, Marvyn Harrison pulls five “perfect” green flags apart and shows the shadow side underneath: limerence, trauma bonds, emotional shutdown, manipulation and cruelty dressed up as “being real”. Across romantic relationships, friendships, family and work, Marvyn unpacks:Intense Chemistry From Day OneThe “we could marry right now” energy that feels like destiny.Why you feel deeply connected on almost no information.Limerence: the repeat pattern of getting obsessed, acting like it's real and only understanding it years later.How trauma bonds, nervous system chaos and mirroring can feel like soulmate energy while your body is actually in crisis.Why neurodivergent people often feel this intensity and believe it's “how love is supposed to feel.” People Who Respectfully Hate Everybody But You“They're just honest, they see through everyone” – the seductive packaging.The contempt, gossip and dehumanising that's actually rehearsing how they'll later talk about you.The difference between feedback, sharing and constant judgement.Why “it's us against the world” often means “you're next when the honeymoon ends.”Extreme Independence And Having ‘No Needs'“I'm low maintenance, I'm drama free” as a brand.Emotional shutdown disguised as maturity.The triple problem: they can't ask, can't receive and can't repair.How fear of abandonment sits behind “I don't need anything from anyone.”You end up doing all the emotional labour, while they quietly protect a chaotic inner world they don't want you to see. Total Overlap In Values, Opinions And Tastes“We're literally the same person, we never argue” – why that feels like winning.People-pleasing and mirroring as manipulation: pre-written caring responses, no behavioural change.Why genuine adults have differences, and why tolerating disagreement is actually intimacy.The truth about “peaceful” relationships that never argue: someone gave up bringing their full self.Brutal Honesty With Zero Empathy“I just tell it like it is, I keep it 100” as a personality costume.Cruelty cosplaying as truth.Why timing is a core part of empathy: the film-premiere example where “honesty” is actually violence. How real friends hold their feedback, let the moment pass, then come back with thought, care and context.Why brutal honesty is often laziness and emotional illiteracy, not integrity.Marvyn closes by turning the lens back on you:Why you keep choosing intense chemistry, “low maintenance” partners or brutally honest friends.Why you might secretly want spontaneity, chaos and “life of the party” energy, then demand they calm down once you've got them.How to notice the patterns you recreate, instead of taking internet advice “cold” and blowing up relationships that could be repaired with awareness and conversation. This is not a call to go home and dump everyone.It's a call to see what's really happening underneath your favourite “green flags” and work out whether you're genuinely safe, genuinely seen – or just addicted to the chaos you were never taught to name.Content WarningsThis episode includes discussion of:Trauma bonds and nervous system dysregulationEmotional shutdown and abandonment fearsManipulation, people-pleasing and cruelty in relationships Hosted on Acast.

Jahrzehntelang wurden ledige Schwangere im katholischen Irland dazu gezwungen, ihre Babys in Heimen zu gebären und dort zu lassen. Hunderte Kleinkinder starben in der Obhut von Staat und Ordensschwestern, andere wurden an Familien im Ausland verkauft. Ein nationales Trauma das lange verborgen blieb. Die Lokalhistorikerin Catherine Corless sitzt an ihrem Küchentisch nahe der westirischen Stadt Galway. In ihren Händen hält sie eine Liste mit Namen. 796 sind es insgesamt. Es sind die Namen der Kinder, die im nahen Mutter-Kind-Heim St. Mary's ums Leben kamen. Bis 1961 mussten ledige schwangere Frauen aus der Region ihre Kinder im St. Mary's gebären und im Alter von einem Jahr dort zurücklassen. Die Kinder wurden später adoptiert oder kamen in Pflegefamilien. Was die Mütter wollten, spielte keine Rolle. Zu mächtig war die katholische Kirche mit ihren Moralvorstellungen. Jahrzehntelang herrscht Schweigen über die toten Kinder von St. Mary's – bis Corless beginnt, ihre Liste zu schreiben. Doch mit der Liste ist ihre Suche noch nicht zu Ende. «Als mir klar wurde, dass im Heim Kinder gestorben sind, musste ich herausfinden, wo sie begraben wurden.» Corless macht sich gegen alle Widerstände auf die Suche und spürt ein Geheimnis auf, das das ganze Land verändern wird. Durch ihre Recherche hat Corless eines der dunkelsten Kapitel der irischen Geschichte ans Tageslicht geholt. «International» zeichnet ihre Suche nach und porträtiert Menschen, die die Kindheit im St. Mary's überlebt haben.

Jedes vierte Kind zeigt psychische Auffälligkeiten - unsere Kinder sind erschöpft, aber wir erkennen es oft nicht. Während wir uns selbst Selbstfürsorge zugestehen, erwarten wir von unseren Kindern Funktionieren ohne Ende. Gunda Frey erklärt in dieser Folge das Container-Modell und zeigt auf, warum scheinbar trotziges Verhalten oft ein Hilferuf des überforderten Nervensystems ist. Eine wichtige Folge für alle Eltern und pädagogischen Fachkräfte, die ihre Kinder wirklich verstehen möchten.

Senior leaders, C-suite executives, and business owners are succeeding at unprecedented levels—yet many are silently battling stress, burnout, anxiety, and disordered boundaries.In this powerful episode, Jahmaal Marshall speaks directly to high-performing leaders who feel exhausted behind the scenes and have normalized overwhelm as “the cost of success.”This is not a conversation about productivity hacks or time management. It's an invitation to uncover the subconscious beliefs driving overfunctioning, chronic stress, and emotional depletion, and to introduce a sustainable, measurable path forward.If you've ever thought:“I can't slow down-too many people depend on me.”“Rest feels uncomfortable or unproductive.”“I'm successful, but I'm not at peace.”This episode was created for you.To get into direct contact with Jahmaal Marshall click HERE: Let's go into the remainder of this year into the next with momentum that last.

Narzissmus ist ein Begriff, der überall auftaucht – und doch selten wirklich verstanden wird. In dieser Folge spricht Lukas mit Psychiater Dr. Pablo Hagemeyer darüber, warum Menschen einen solchen Persönlichkeitsstil überhaupt entwickeln, wann er zur Störung wird und welche Wege es gibt, mit Narzissmus zu leben - als Betroffene:r und auch als Person im direkten Umfeld. Jakob bringt eigene Fragen und Beobachtungen mit, und gemeinsam nähern sich die beiden einem Thema, das viele bewegt, aber noch immer von Klischees überlagert ist. Für alle, die Narzissmus besser verstehen möchten, bei anderen und bei sich selbst. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Mapping your parts is a powerful exercise from Internal Family Systems IFS to heal from trauma Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Today we're going to do something a little different. We're going to do an exercise from Internal Family Systems called “Mapping your Parts”. In IFS we come to see our different feelings, inner voices, thoughts, urges or habits as “parts” that interact like an internal family. Because when we can see them clearly and learn to listen to them, our parts can start to work together for our good. This exercise can help you when you're internally conflicted, or have a difficult decision to make, or when you keep reacting to a situation in a way that you don't like or understand. IFS is a respected treatment modality for working through trauma or PTSD or Childhood Trauma. Your parts can give you a lot of insight into what's going on. Looking for affordable online counseling?

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Amber Romaniuk, emotional eating and binge eating expert, to unpack the real reasons women struggle with food, weight, hormones, digestion, and self-worth. This episode goes far beyond surface-level food advice. Together, Rachel and Amber explore how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, inner-child wounds, hormones, and gut health all intersect with binge and emotional eating—and what true healing actually looks like. If you've ever felt out of control around food, stuck in shame, or frustrated that "doing all the right things" still isn't working, this episode will make you feel seen—and supported. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. How Binge & Emotional Eating Actually Begin Amber shares her personal story—from early body shame and dieting to bingeing, purging, and hitting rock bottom—and how denial kept the cycle alive until she was forced to face the truth. You'll hear why binge eating is not about willpower, discipline, or food choices. 2. Why Food Becomes a Coping Mechanism Food often becomes a way to: Numb emotional pain Soothe stress Feel comfort and safety Escape uncomfortable emotions Amber explains how dopamine, restriction, perfectionism, and societal conditioning all reinforce binge cycles—even with "healthy" foods. 3. The Nervous System Connection Chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, making it nearly impossible to digest food properly, regulate appetite, or process emotions. You'll learn why: Discomfort feels threatening to the nervous system Familiar patterns (even painful ones) feel "safe" Healing requires patience, rewiring, and self-compassion 4. Trauma, Inner Child Wounds & Food Amber breaks down how both big and small traumas—bullying, dieting as a child, parental criticism, abuse, breakups, or feeling unsafe—can deeply impact body image and eating behaviors. This episode highlights why inner-child work is a critical part of healing emotional eating. 5. How Binge Eating Impacts Digestion & Gut Health You'll learn how binge eating and chronic stress can lead to: Poor digestion and nutrient absorption Low stomach acid Gut inflammation and leaky gut Brain fog, fatigue, bloating, and cravings Mood imbalances tied to inflammation 6. Hormones, Weight & Emotional Eating Amber explains how emotional eating affects: Cortisol (stress hormone) Thyroid function Progesterone & estrogen balance Sleep, mood, fertility, and weight regulation You'll hear why low progesterone can drive cravings, insomnia, anxiety, PMDD, and emotional disconnection—and why hormone testing is non-negotiable in healing. 7. The First Steps Toward Healing Amber outlines practical, compassionate steps you can begin now: Seeking safe, nonjudgmental support Admitting there's a problem without shame Identifying emotional vs. physical hunger Understanding your binge triggers Eating regularly and mindfully Supporting basic needs (sleep, hydration, protein) Learning new ways to cope with stress  

Hey friends!Welcome back to another episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation… whew. Get ready. God's presence is all over this one.I'm honored to introduce you to Juliet Dawn, a UK-based singer, worshipper, storyteller, and a woman with a testimony so powerful it honestly feels like it should be a movie. Her newest album, Born to Be, released in September, and the story behind it will absolutely strengthen your faith.Juliet grew up knowing Jesus from a young age, but what she walked through in adulthood is almost unimaginable — coercive control, a decade of emotional abuse, near-death experiences, trauma, miscarriages, the loss of twins, physical illness, spider bites, PTSD, chronic pain, a broken singing voice, nervous breakdowns, and a long battle for healing.But through every season, God kept whispering His promises:“My times are in Your hands.”“You have not given me a spirit of fear…”“There is a time for everything under heaven.”And now?God has taken Juliette from the deepest valleys into a season of redemption, restoration, and fulfillment of a prayer she prayed at 21:“Lord, I just want to make a difference — no matter the cost.”You'll hear how God led her from trauma to testimony, from brokenness to Nashville recording studios, from silence to releasing powerful songs like There's a Time and Beauty for Ashes.Her music has brought people to tears, healed hearts, and opened doors only God Himself could open.We talk about:✨ Surviving emotional abuse✨ Walking through devastating loss✨ The long road of healing✨ God's miracles in impossible medical situations✨ The anointing behind her songs✨ Recording in Nashville✨ Her role in the Pilgrim's Progress musical film✨ What it looks like to hold onto hope when everything hurtsJuliet's story is raw, breathtaking, and soaked in God's glory.My prayer is that you leave this episode knowing—deep in your bones—that God truly brings beauty from the ashes.Listen in. Be encouraged. And let the hope rise again.Bio:Juliet Dawn is a multifaceted artist whose creative output spans across performance, music, poetry, film and literature, expressing messages of hope and light born of her own journey of overcoming. Her personal story is one of significant trauma and loss, but she has found restoration through her Christian faith, love and resilience, and now purposes to bring compelling wisdom to others through meaningful lessons learnt. Juliet's compelling story weaves through all that she communicates, and now by combining the gifts of her rich, raw life and poetic honesty, she offers something that is both credible, and grounded in real life. Many of the songs and melodies are simply extraordinary, and this is the hallmark of the daughter/mother team; music that is not only timeless, but that leaves a forever deposit in people's hearts!Anchor Verses:Jeremiah 29:112 Timothy 1:7Ecclesiastes 3Connect with Juliet:Website: https://www.julietdawn.co.ukIG: https://www.instagram.com/julietdawnmusicFB: https://www.facebook.com/dovetailshalom/***We love hearing from you!

Looking for a cozy-but-creepy Christmas horror movie to watch while the snow piles up outside? On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi dig into Wind Chill (2007), a snowbound Christmas ghost story directed by Gregory Jacobs and starring Emily Blunt and Ashton Holmes. Set the day before Christmas Eve on an icy Pennsylvania back road, Wind Chill strands two college students in a broken-down car, trapped in a supernatural time loop with vengeful ghosts, a corrupt highway patrolman, and deadly subzero wind chills that feel all too real.Henrique and Rachael break down why winter horror hits so hard, from the primal fear of being stuck in the cold to the way snow turns a lonely road into a coffin made of ice. They unpack the film's themes of trauma, vulnerability, and bad choices, exploring how a simple ride share home for the holidays becomes a story about boundaries, obsession, and the ghosts—literal and emotional—that won't stay buried.You'll hear why Wind Chill has become one of Henrique's go-to cold-weather watches, how Emily Blunt's performance hints at the superstar she'd become, and why Christmas ghost stories feel like the perfect counter-programming to warm, cozy holiday specials. Along the way, they share their own memories of brutal Midwestern wind chills, talk about what it's like to actually work in negative-20-degree weather, and compare real-life cold to the movie's white-knuckle survival stakes.Whether you're new to Wind Chill or revisiting it as part of your holiday horror marathon, this episode dives into the film's looping structure, ghostly mythology, and that unforgettable crooked cop, tying it all to ideas of eternal recurrence and what it means to finally break out of the past. It's a perfect listen if you love Christmas-set horror, snowbound thrillers, or underrated 2000s genre gems that deserved more love than their modest box office runs suggest.Inside this episode:Christmas road-trip horror: Why a simple rideshare home for the holidays is the perfect setup for a chilly Christmas ghost story and how Wind Chill uses a lonely back road to trap its characters in a supernatural bubble.Trauma, boundaries, and vulnerability: How the Girl and the Guy's messy emotional lives are just as dangerous as the crash, and why the movie hits differently if you've ever dealt with parasocial crushes, people-pleasing, or anxiety.Emily Blunt before blockbuster fame: A look at how Wind Chill showcases Blunt's range early on, and why this under-the-radar Christmas horror is a must-watch for her fans.Ghost stories at Christmas: The long tradition of telling Christmas ghost stories and where Wind Chill fits alongside other wintry horror staples the hosts love to revisit each year.The terror of real cold: Henrique's firsthand stories of working in savage wind chills and how that lived experience makes Wind Chill's frozen setting feel even more nightmarish.Loops, ghosts, and eternal recurrence: What Wind Chill is really saying about being stuck in the same patterns, and how the film's time loop and ghosts of 1953 tie into ideas of fate, choice, and escape.So grab a blanket, pour a hot drink, and queue up Wind Chill—then join Henrique and Rachael as they cut deep into holiday horror, one icy back road at a time.Where to watch Wind Chill (U.S.)Currently, Wind Chill (availability can change, so always double-check):Netflix — https://www.netflix.com/title/70053467The Roku Channel (free with ads) — https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/632ad3e4a9ba5a70b27d78ae75f1fe91/wind-chillTubi (free with ads) — https://tubitv.com/movies/695641/wind-chillAmazon Video (rent/buy) — https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B000W0C1M8Fandango at Home / Vudu (rent/buy) — https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Wind-Chill/128803

“Information without embodiment keeps you stuck in the same emotional loops that cancel out the physical work you are doing.” Topics Discussed • IVF trauma and fertility burnout • Emotional healing and subconscious patterns • Radical responsibility during the TTC journey • Embodiment vs information overload • Epigenetics and long term cellular health • Victim mindset, inner dialogue, and emotional loops • Stepping into trust, self worth, and nervous system coherence “Your physical body needs time to catch up with your mental reality.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Today's episode goes straight to the heart of the fertility journey. If you have been gathering knowledge, listening to every expert, and collecting every supplement like tiny emotional trophies, yet still feel stuck, this one will hit home. I share the honest truth that most women avoid. You might know everything, yet still not be living any of it. You might be doing the physical work while your emotional patterns cancel it out. And I say that with so much love because that was me for years. We explore the real reason embodiment matters, why victim stories feel comforting but keep you looping, and how your body is always trying to catch up with the version of you who knows she is meant to be a mother. You will hear the clip I wish I had on repeat at twenty seven, thirty one, even thirty four. It will probably trigger something. That is exactly where the gold is hiding. If you are ready to shift timelines, collapse old patterns, and stop living in emotional slumps that drain your fertility, this episode will land with a mix of truth, humor, and full body resonance. Press play and let this be your turning point. “Sort the emotion that is keeping you stuck because we do not live in that story anymore.” Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and emotional insight about the fertility journey 01:05 Why most women avoid the real work and stay in research mode 03:27 Epigenetics and why your emotional patterns matter 04:25 The difference between information and embodiment 06:47 The bold clip on radical responsibility 07:44 How victim loops block your fertility progress 10:05 Who is truly ready for a fertility breakthrough session “Thoughts, emotions, and actions create your reality, and that is what will shift your fertility timeline.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/breaking-the-loop-of-infertility-ivf-trauma-and-stepping-into-radical-responsibility-fertility-success Let's Do This Together

I'm one of millions of women specifically trying to parent themselves while parenting children… and it can be seriously exhausting. And when childhood trauma still comes back to haunt us in midlife and beyond, life can feel impossible.  That's why I've invited trauma expert Anna Runkle on for this powerful episode to help unpack why so many midlife women are still impacted by old trauma, and how that buried stress shows up in our bodies.  We dive into the hidden ways trauma can lead us to isolate, dysregulate our nervous system, and disrupt key hormones like cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin.  Anna and I break down how this cascade of stress and deregulation can spark inflammation, oxidative stress, blood-sugar swings, and even contribute to autoimmune issues that so many women face.  But most importantly, Anna shares simple, compassionate tools to help regulate your nervous system and finally begin healing the deeper patterns driving overwhelm in midlife.  Ready to feel more grounded in this season of life? Hit play and listen now! Anna Runkle Anna Runkle is the creator of the popular YouTube channel, blog, courses, and coaching programs that provide tools for adults to heal dysregulation and other common trauma symptoms, helping them feel better and change their lives.

She's the author of Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck and Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong.  IN THIS EPISODE Understanding nervous system deregulation  How Anna learned to adapt after childhood trauma  Symptoms that can manifest from over-functioning  How to manage stressors and stay regulated day to day  Top ways we can start to regulate, especially when deregulated  How connection can be a huge tool for healing  Free resources and where you can find more from Anna!  QUOTES“All these weird symptoms that I had… It's neurological dysregulation. It's really normal. Everybody gets dysregulated sometimes, but those of us who are traumatized as kids are often more prone to it. It happens more easily. It's more intense. It's harder to get out of.” “Early trauma is very strongly correlated later in life with high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, reproductive disorders, just about everything bad.” “Those three things– dysregulation, disconnection, and self-defeating behavior– those are the things that can just take you out and keep you stuck in trauma forever. So the good news is you can learn to reregulate.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Anna's Book: CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, And Feel (At Last) Like You Belong HERE Order Anna's other book: Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck HERE Anna's Website Anna Runkle on YouTube Anna Runkle on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #308: What Is Trauma and How Does It Make Us Sick? with Dr. Elena Villanueva

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When Jan Winhall landed her first job running a group for incest survivors in a psychiatric ward, she discovered something revolutionary: the young women's self-harming behaviors weren't signs of pathology – they were brilliant survival strategies orchestrated by dysregulated nervous systems. This revelation launched a 45-year journey that would transform how we understand trauma and addiction.Today, Jan brings her Felt Sense Polyvagal Model to parents navigating the bewildering landscape of their child's substance use. Her approach flips traditional treatment on its head: rather than analyzing thoughts and willpower, she teaches us to decode the body's wisdom.Your child's behaviors – the ones that terrify you most – might actually be their nervous system's desperate attempt to regulate between hyper-vigilance and shutdown. Jan's work reveals why true healing happens not through confrontation or consequences, but through co-regulation, physical connection, and understanding the body's protective mechanisms.You'll learn:• Why your child's "crazy" behaviors (cutting, bingeing, substance use) are actually sophisticated nervous system regulation strategies that shift them between states of survival• How to become a co-regulating presence for your dysregulated child through physical touch, synchronized breathing, and embodied connection – even when they're pushing you away• The critical difference between "bottom-up" body-based healing and traditional "top-down" cognitive approaches – and why talk therapy alone often fails with trauma and addiction• Simple daily practices (like extending your exhale or humming) that activate your ventral vagus nerve, creating the safety your child's nervous system desperately seeksEPISODE RESOURCES:Janwinhall.com - Jan's website (find a practitioner)Jan Winhall's YouTube channelFriendly Circle BerlinUnplugged CanadaArial Schwartz - Resilience Informed TherapyThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.
