Podcasts about Neglect

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians 13:4–7 NLT) Maybe you’ve heard someone say about a happy, loving couple, “They have a marriage made in Heaven.” The implication is that some marriages just work—and that, by extension, some marriages don’t. Don’t believe it. Good marriages thrive because of the efforts made by both partners. Bad marriages fail because of the neglect of both partners. You want a good marriage? Make it. You want a bad marriage? Neglect it. There are two things we can work at to strengthen our marriages. First, we must obey the Word of God. God’s Word must be the standard for marriage. If that’s the case, then we’re on the right track. If that’s not the case, then we’ll face troubles ahead. The apostle Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 give us a master class in creating a solid, thriving, durable relationship. It starts with choosing patience and kindness in interacting with one another and refusing to allow circumstances to change that. It challenges us to act selflessly, to work through the insecurities that lead to jealousy, rudeness, and a sense of privilege. It calls us to strive for integrity, emphasizing a spirit of forgiveness, honesty, faith, hope, and endurance. And that’s just one passage. Building a marriage on the foundation of Scripture is a lifetime pursuit. But what a life it promises! Second, we need to lay aside the world’s distorted and perverse concept of marriage. We need to learn to see through the lie that marriage is secondary to our own needs and wants. And the lie that marriage is disposable. We need to remove the word divorce from our vocabulary. Divorce can’t be some trapdoor that’s always nearby in case we want to escape. We need to resolve to make our relationship work through thick and thin, no matter what. We need to determine that because we’ve made a sacred vow, we’re going to stand by our marriage. Jesus was quoting God’s words in Genesis 2:24 when He said, “This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one” (NLT). He added, “Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together” (Matthew 19:6 NLT). Let no one split apart what God has joined together. That doesn’t leave much wiggle room, does it? Winston Churchill said during World War II, “Wars are not won through evacuation.” The same is true of marriage. It’s a commitment until death do us part. Reflection question: What does a healthy, God-honoring marriage look like?

The focal point of this episode resides in the exploration of the transformative power of forgiveness and self-awareness, particularly as it pertains to familial relationships. We engage in a profound dialogue with Christopher Salem, who shares his experiences growing up in a dysfunctional environment and the impact of his father-son dynamic on his emotional development. Salem articulates the significance of relinquishing control over that which is beyond our grasp, thereby fostering a mindset that embraces trust in the process of life. Through his narrative, he elucidates how this paradigm shift not only reshaped his personal journey but also enabled him to become a more effective father and leader. This episode serves as a pivotal reminder of the necessity of self-reflection and the relentless pursuit of personal growth, emphasizing that our past does not dictate our future."I used to struggle with insecurities because I was always seeking validation from others. I developed passive aggressive tendencies due to childhood emotional neglect and it affected my self esteem. Through personal growth, I learned how to validate yourself and build self confidence.Unresolved childhood wounds don't just disappear. They show up in your communication, your leadership, and your relationships" - Chris Salem .In this powerful episode, award-winning author and keynote speaker Chris Salem breaks down how early-life conditioning often leads to passive-aggressive behaviors in adulthood and what to do about it.What you'll learn• The hidden root causes of passive-aggression• How trauma manifests in leadership and relationships• Why mindset shifts aren't enough without deep emotional work• The exact process Chris used to heal his own patterns and create sustainable successIf you've ever found yourself shutting down, lashing out, or avoiding conflict, this video is your wake-up call.Subscribe for weekly insights on emotional intelligence, root-cause transformation, and conscious leadership.Grab Chris's bestselling book Master Your Inner CriticLearn more: https://www.christophersalem.com#ChrisSalem #EmotionalIntelligence #PassiveAggression #LeadershipDevelopment #InnerCritic #HealingFromTrauma #PersonalGrowthTakeaways: The significance of establishing a strong father-son connection cannot be understated, as it profoundly influences one's personal development and emotional well-being throughout life. Understanding and practicing forgiveness is essential for personal transformation and healing, allowing individuals to move beyond past grievances and foster healthier relationships. Trusting the process of life entails focusing on what is within our control and letting go of what we cannot influence, which is crucial for maintaining emotional stability and resilience. The concept of giving without expectation and receiving without resistance is fundamental for nurturing empathy and kindness in relationships, contributing to a more fulfilling life experience.

The craziest thing that I've learned over the last year of reading and re-reading aging and longevity books is that much of what we think is natural aging is actually neglect.     My goal in this episode is to reframe what we assume or are told is “natural aging” or “just getting older” and show all the small things that we might be neglecting over time.   This whole concept is so empowering!!  Rather than feeling like we aren't in control of how we age, we realize that we are actually in control of so much of it.    Focusing on all the tiny things we can do daily to keep our strength, flexibility, energy and sharpness over time.    If you don't use it you lose it and that's not the gameplan!!  Let's go!!            Why We Confuse Aging with Neglect Inspiration: Outlive + Good Energy Dr. Peter Attia challenges the idea of “inevitable decline.” He argues we don't die of old age, we die from preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, frailty, neurodegeneration). Dr. Casey Means says our modern environment is biologically mismatched. Much of what we consider aging—fatigue, brain fog, joint stiffness—is inflammation caused by neglected lifestyle choices like ultra-processed food, lack of movement, and poor sleep. Reframe: What feels like aging might be: Muscle loss from underuse (not just age) Joint stiffness from inactivity, not age Brain fog from poor metabolic health, not "just getting older" Flexibility & Strength—The First to Go (But Totally Reversible) Peter Attia's Point: “Functional Longevity” You don't train to live long—you train to live well long. His "Centenarian Decathlon" concept: What physical feats do you want to do at 80 or 90? Train now for those. Action Steps: Start a Zone 2 cardio routine (walking uphill, light cycling). Great for mitochondria and long-term energy. Add stability and grip strength work—these are major predictors of longevity. Stretch daily or do mobility work 10 minutes/day. Lack of flexibility is not inevitable—it's just unused tissue. Moving your body regularly improves cellular health and lowers inflammation, which protects against many “aging” diseases. Nutrition is the Silent Ager Good Energy: “You are what you metabolize.” Modern food is driving chronic inflammation, which accelerates what we mistake as aging: skin issues, joint pain, fatigue, insulin resistance. Ultra-processed food hijacks energy systems and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Action Steps: Prioritize whole foods: protein, fiber, omega-3s. Avoid “glucose roller coasters” — balance meals with fat/fiber/protein to avoid energy crashes. Try time-restricted eating: not for weight loss, but to support metabolic flexibility. Attia promotes a low-carb or carb-conscious diet to control insulin and prevent the slow creep of pre-diabetes that goes unnoticed. Sleep & Stress—The Hidden Agers Poor sleep mimics aging in the brain. One bad night of sleep can spike blood glucose and disrupt hunger hormones. Chronic stress leads to cortisol overload—breaking down muscle, weakening immunity, and inflaming joints. Action Steps: Prioritize 7–8 hours of sleep in a dark, cool room. Wind down early with no screens—melatonin is suppressed by blue light. Practice stress recovery: deep breathing, journaling, cold exposure, or sauna. What to Watch for That Looks Like Aging But Isn't These are early signs of neglect that can be reversed: Needing caffeine to function Losing strength when lifting groceries or kids Taking longer to recover after activity Feeling “foggy” or irritable most mornings Waking up feeling stiff every day Attia and the Means both emphasize: These are signals. If you listen to them now, you can slow or even reverse them. Your “Reverse the Neglect” Starter Plan Give listeners a 5-part challenge: Move 30 minutes every day (combine walking + strength 3x/week) Eat one full day of unprocessed meals Cut sugar and seed oils completely  Stretch for 10 minutes in the morning and before bed Walk after meals to stabilize glucose This isn't about avoiding age—it's about owning your energy.  When we treat aging like a slow collapse, we give away our power.  But when we understand the difference between aging and neglect and add and remove habits, we change the game. Our mind and body will thank us now and even more when we're 80 and 90.   CHEERS to taking control of the way you age! 

It can be so easy to neglect the relationships we most value because we have this ideas that they will always be there. And then, because of the neglect, they are no longer there. We may still be married, but we are distant and disconnected, and it can seem daunting to find our way back to connection. But it is possible to change the trajectory of our disconnected relationship and come back into feeling close and connected again. It will take some courage, it will take some intentional efforts, and it will require vulnerability, but you can do it if you really decide it's what you want.

      Slam the Gavel welcomes Jonathan, a U.S. Navy veteran who served 8 years aboard submarines and Samantha, a South African immigrant.      Together, they're raising three wonderful children and building their creative business, SilverCo Design, where they specialize in brand identity.     In September 2024, their family faced an unexpected and life-changing event: their 5-year-old daughter was removed from their care without a warrant, without emergency circumstances, and without the due process every family is entitled to. The removal was based on coercion and a rushed and questionable medical report involving coordination between DSS, hospital staff, and local law enforcement.    Almost 2 months later, they had been arrested, without ever being questioned, on charges that stemmed from incomplete information and procedural mis-steps. The arrest was an act of retaliation for filing an appeal to challenge the DSS Level-1 finding of "Abuse and Neglect."  Since then, Jonathan and Samantha have been navigating a legal system that has made reunification unnecessarily difficult, despite their cooperation with DSS, and a home where two of their children, ages 10 and 1, continue to thrive.    Throughout this journey, they both have chosen to advocate - not just for their family, but for others going through similar experiences. Now working with other parents and professionals to create a supportive network for families seeking reunification, as well as clarity in a system that often feels overwhelming to the both of them.To Reach Jonathan and Samantha McKnight: storiesforchangepodcast@gmail.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Rev. John Rebman speaks from Acts 2:1-13, 42-47 titled Don't Neglect the Holy Spirit

"Neglect Not the Gift That Is in You" presented by Barnabas Grayson

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 6/1/25 by Pastor Steve Shields. Pastor Steve begins by presenting the elements in the parable. The ten virgins are the bridal party. The bridegroom is Jesus. The wedding banquet is the reception. The lamps are necessary to make the journey. The oil is the Holy Spirit. Foolishness can neglect an encounter with the holy, the sharing in the joy of others, or God-given glimpse of eternity. Signs of neglect are a casual attitude toward the gift, a dimming of the light - a cooling of the fire, or a disinterest in the return of Christ. To avoid the pitfall of neglect be sure you have the gift. Keep the end in mind always. Be alert.

John 4:23, 24

Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.  53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. 9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."  Lesson Notes Special Days Website: daysoftheyear.com Ascension Day: it is the 40th day of Easter. It is a Christian holiday that commemorates the belief of the bodily ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven. This year it was on Thursday, May 29. Book: The Ascension of Christ: Recovering a Neglected Doctrine by Patrick Schreiner. Five Reasons Why The Ascension Has Been Neglected: 1 The Bible speaks little of it 2 It seems like a bad plan. 3 The implications are unclear. 4 The event is abnormal. 5 The resurrection subsumes the ascension. Andrew Murray on the Ascension: “Faith has in its foundation four great cornerstones on which the building rests – the Divinity of Christ, the Incarnation, the Atonement on the Cross, and the Ascension to the Throne. The last one, the ascension, is the most wonderful, it is the crown of all the rest, it is the perfect revelation of what God has made Christ for us. And so, in the Christian life, it is the most important, for the ascension is the glorious fruit of all that goes before.”  Discussion Questions 1. Have you ever been part of a church that has emphasized the ascension of Jesus Christ? Have you ever been part of a class or read a book about it? Would you agree that the ascension of Jesus Christ is a neglected doctrine? 2. Five reasons were shared as to why the ascension might be considered a neglected doctrine. Which one of the reasons do you think might have the most to do with its neglect? 3. In your own words, why do you think it is important to properly emphasize the ascension? 4. Discuss Andrew Murray's quote about the ascension. Do you agree that the ascension should be considered as the most important cornerstone of our faith? 5. Read again the above seven verses from Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11. What stands out to you from these verses about the ascension of Jesus Christ?

Have you ever paused to think about the areas of your life that might be slipping through the cracks? It's a common journey we all go through as we navigate this world, reprioritising and adjusting as things evolve.   In the sphere of life coaching, it's often emphasised that we need to pay attention to various parts of our lives to truly thrive. From finances and relationships to health, joy, and family, each aspect contributes to crafting a well-rounded existence.      Let's face it, it's all too easy to become hyper-focused on one area, sacrificing others along the way. Decisions about what we prioritise sculpt our life journey and outcomes. But how do we achieve balance, ensuring no part of our life is left neglected? That's the personal expedition each of us must embark on, deciding where to channel our life force and energy, understanding fully that every component impacts our future success and happiness. One insightful analogy, inspired by Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, is about "sharpening the saw." It's about maintaining readiness and support networks, so we're prepared for any situation, much like keeping a saw sharp to effectively cut wood. This rings especially true for workaholics who might overlook personal relationships, only realising their importance later on when those connections have faded. Today, I'm highlighting the importance of conducting a personal review of all aspects of life. Are your relationships flourishing, is your career on track, and are your finances aligned with your professional missions? Without regular introspection and attention, change won't come. And remember, "energy flows where attention goes." Neglect breeds stagnation, while attention fosters growth. Interestingly, I've observed how crucial it is to reignite our sense of play and fun, an element sometimes forgotten in adulthood. Watching children, their capacity for joy is infectious, reminding us that fun isn't just for kids. Regularly revisiting and enhancing this aspect can add a joyful spark to daily life—ask yourself daily: "Where did I have fun today, and how can I create more of it tomorrow?" When it comes to more structured areas, such as finances or relationships, thoughtful planning is required, but each can improve significantly with dedicated focus. So, here's my simple suggestion today: take a moment to assess where you stand across life's many dimensions. If you identify areas that need improvement, provide them with the necessary attention and time to flourish. And if you need any help with that, you know who to call.

Megan's earliest memory is of being abused, and that abuse remained a defining feature of her childhood, along with significant neglect. She spent part of her childhood in foster homes, part with her grandparents, and part navigating her mother's mental illness and addiction. Her history is so traumatic that Renée can barely control her reactions (and, you know, she barely tries), but Megan is remarkably resilient and ready to sort out the horrors of her upbringing and the abusive relationships that followed. In the process, she and Renée discuss neurodivergence, intergenerational trauma, fragile egos, addiction, childbirth, and more - and somehow they do a lot of laughing. Megan has so much content, and she delivers it with stunning cycle-breaker spirit, making it that much easier for Renée to map out her path to healing. There is a lot to chew on in this one, and it leads to a gloriously happy ending. Plus, Renée answers some listener questions in the intro!Support the show

The book of Nehemiah doesn't end the way we might expect. After the victory of rebuilding the wall and a national spiritual renewal, chapter 13 brings us into deeply uncomfortable territory: everything falls apart.In Pulling Our Hair Out, Pastor Kelly Kinder unpacks the closing chapter of Nehemiah and what it reveals about the fragility of human faithfulness. It's not a fairytale ending—it's a real-world snapshot of what happens when we stop tending to our spiritual lives.While Nehemiah was away, spiritual compromise crept back in. The temple was misused. Ministry was neglected. The Sabbath was disregarded. Marriages were defiled. Nehemiah didn't ignore it—he confronted it with courage and clarity.Kelly walks us through the four areas Nehemiah had to clean house:1. Compromise in PurityAn enemy of God, Tobiah, had been given residence in the temple. Nehemiah threw him out—literally. It's a powerful image of what it means to cleanse our lives from subtle spiritual compromises.2. Neglect in GivingThe Levites and temple servants weren't being supported, so they left their ministry posts. Nehemiah restores order and calls the people to recommit their resources. It challenges us to consider whether we're faithfully supporting God's work.3. Disregard of the SabbathThe people had returned to doing business on the day God had set apart for rest and worship. Nehemiah shuts the city gates and calls the people to honor what God designed for their good.4. Defilement of MarriageIntermarriage with foreign nations had diluted their spiritual identity. Nehemiah's response is intense—but so is the danger of spiritual compromise through unaligned relationships.Kelly doesn't sugarcoat it: spiritual decline is rarely sudden—it's usually subtle. Like a tire with a slow leak, you don't notice the danger until you're stuck. That's why vigilance matters.The final words of the book—“Remember me, O my God, for good”—are a humble reminder that even the most faithful leaders need grace. And that grace is found not in our performance, but in Christ, the perfect covenant-keeper.If you've noticed a spiritual leak in your life, this message invites you not to shame, but to restoration. God is ready to meet you where you are—and rebuild what's been compromised.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

This week, Pastor Nathan Wakefield preaches through Ezekiel 2:1-8, where we see that Christians need to remember that serving God is paramount, especially in times of difficulty or when they face opposition.

4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 4:9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 4:11 These things command and teach. 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

If you think cavities are just about sugar and skipping floss, this episode will completely flip that script. I sat down with Dr. Staci Whitman, a functional dentist who's blowing the lid off everything we thought we knew about oral health. What she shared about the connection between your mouth, gut, brain, hormones (yes, hormones!) and even sleep had my jaw on the floor… and honestly, it still is. Dr. Staci breaks down the real reasons so many of us (myself included) get cavities even when we're doing “all the right things,” the surprising link between mouth breathing and chronic health issues, and why what's happening in your oral microbiome could be the missing piece in your health puzzle. We also get into the truth about fluoride, the foods that are secretly harming your teeth, and what you can start doing today to protect your entire body—starting with your mouth.If you're a parent, a wellness nerd, or just want to stop dreading your next dental visit, this episode will change how you look at oral health forever.

We often pride ourselves on being the nurturers—the ones who show up, fix, soothe, and hold space. But what if that instinct to mother others is actually masking our own unmet needs? In this episode, we explore the thin line between compassion and codependency, care and control, nurture and neglect. When you're always the one pouring into others, who's replenishing you? Let's unpack how well-meaning over-giving can disconnect us from our own healing, how people-pleasing becomes mistaken for purpose, and what it really means to mother yourself. If you've ever been praised for being “the strong one” while quietly feeling depleted, this one's for you.

What do you worship—really? In this powerful message, we're invited to consider that worship isn't just singing songs or praying; it's about what captures our heart, attention, and sacrifice every single day. Whether we realize it or not, we all worship something. Pastor Paul unpacks the first three commandments not as rules, but as life-giving principles that reveal how worship shapes our identity, our priorities, and our relationships. 

Summary of Flexibility = Love•Rigidity: The tendency to adhere strictly to rules, routines, and predictability.•Spontaneity: The inclination to seek excitement and adventure without prior planning.•Flexibility: The ability to adapt and find a balance between rigidity and spontaneity.Importance of Understanding DifferencesMerrill points out that understanding one's own personality traits is crucial for improving marital dynamics. He discusses how rigidity can lead to anxiety due to a fear of losing control, while spontaneity can result in feelings of resentment when life feels too boxed in or constrained.Benefits and Drawbacks of RigidityBenefits:A structured environment can lower anxiety, especially for children, by providing clear expectations.2.Commitment: Predictability helps partners uphold commitments and builds trust.Drawbacks:1.Stifled Intimacy: Overly rigid environments can become boring and inhibit emotional closeness.2.Excessive Control: Rigid approaches can lead to legalistic attitudes that diminish personal freedom and enjoyment.Benefits and Drawbacks of SpontaneityBenefits:1.Excitement and Joy: Spontaneity can inject fun and unpredictability into life, fostering deeper emotional connections.2.Encouragement of Playfulness: It allows couples to engage in activities that uplift their spirits and reinforce bonds.Drawbacks:1.Instability: Sudden changes can create anxiety in partners who prefer predictability.2.Neglect of Responsibilities: Spontaneous decisions can sometimes lead to neglecting commitments and responsibilities, causing strain in the relationship.Balancing Rigidity and SpontaneityThe hosts emphasize that neither rigidity nor spontaneity is inherently right or wrong; rather, successful relationships require a balance of both. This balance is achieved through flexibility, the capacity to adapt to each partner's needs and circumstances.Scriptural References and Principles•Ephesians 5:21: Advocating for mutual submission and respect in relationships.•Philippians 2:3-4: Encouraging humility and valuing the needs of others over one's own.•Ecclesiastes 9:9: Reminding partners to enjoy life together amidst their daily routines.Practical Strategies for Couples1.Know Your Tendencies: Partners should identify whether they lean more towards rigidity or spontaneity.2.Set Shared Values: Agree on core values that will guide decisions and behaviors.3.Establish Common Goals: Identify long-term goals that both partners are working towards.4.Listen Actively: Encourage open communication without defensiveness or sarcasm.5.Seek Unity Over Being Right: Focus on compromise and mutual understanding instead of proving each other wrong.6.Encourage Each Other: Foster positivity by recognizing and affirming each other's efforts and traits.7.Shift Mindsets to ‘We': Cultivate a partnership mentality where both aim for collective success and happiness.Flexibility as a Key ComponentThe discussion culminates in the realization that flexibility is essential for resiliency in a relationship.

Don't Neglect The Design | Happy Life | Josh Canizaro

In this episode, a caller reflects on his estranged relationship with his father, whom he hasn't spoken to in eight years. He contemplates reaching out for closure regarding past neglect and emotional abuse but feels significant anxiety. Host Stefan encourages him to explore his feelings, emphasizing that biological ties don't guarantee emotional support. They discuss the futility of seeking validation from an abusive parent, with Stefan highlighting the importance of self-acceptance and moving on. The conversation leads the caller to consider processing his grief and anger rather than pursuing a potentially harmful reconnection, focusing on themes of acceptance and personal healing.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

How to emerge from 10 years of isolation and cross the desertTopic Detail: Hi Stefan, I'm a 31 year old man who's recently found the show (in October). Philosophy has taken a fire to my heart. I have been ravenously devouring your books and call-in shows and podcasts in the past months.I am emerging from a very long period of isolation, and I need help navigating this life transition. I am starting from a point of zero quality relationships, and need to cross the desert!I've confronted my parents about my childhood. This confrontation not only confirmed their nature as abusers to me, but it engendered a neurological shift in me where I feel more confident, competent, and action-orientated than I've ever felt in my life. I've confronted my parents, moved out of their house, and am taking steps to further my career. Before, I was burning time with hedonism. I had no goal. Subconsciously, I didn't want a marriage like my parents', or for my future children to have my childhood. I avoided dating in my twenties.When I first moved out in my early twenties, I fell into drug addiction and isolation. I returned to live with my parents in a sort of prodigal son way in my late twenties. I've just moved out again and have told my parents I want I hiatus from our relationship. I don't have another decade to waste. I want love and a family.In this most critical period of my life, I need guidance! I appreciate your time reading this.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Recognizing your worth after neglect in childhood – where adults literally don't care for you appropriately, can lead to a kind of emotional “leakiness” where -- even though you've created a good life and set goals as an adult, -- you feel disconnected from people when they are close to you. For people with CPTSD, that memory of NOT being cared for can creep into every situation – you feel it with people you date, with friends, you feel it at work or school, and if it's not healed, it will cause you to get into and STAY in relationships where, in fact, you're NOT cared for. In this 4-video compilation, I share four of my most popular videos about the effects of neglect in childhood on your adult relationships.

Many times, I watch couples caught in a spiral of accusations, each convinced of maliciousness on the part of their spouse.  But I don't think that is actually it. In fact, many times, both people in front of me seem to be hurting, but not malicious. Which is why it seems so clear to me that maliciousness is not (usually) the issue. I have that "usually" in there, because there are abusive relationships... in which case, someone is actually malicious (and that marriage should not be saved, at least at that time). You may be familiar with Occam's Razor.  Well, there are other "razors."  For example, Hanlon's Razor states, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."  Which has led me to Baucom's Razor:  "No need to attribute to malice what is actually the result of neglect." In this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast, I discuss how we get to this point of neglect, why it is so detrimental, and why it matters that you see Baucom's Razor in process.  And of course, all of that is aimed to help you reverse the damage and save your marriage.
