What if everything you believed about healing and personal transformation was being used against you?In this episode of Bewitched, Nicole Cherie Hesse pulls back the curtain on the psychological and emotional stranglehold that Betty—the so-called spiritual mentor—had over her life. What started as a pursuit of self-discovery and growth turned into a high-control, cult-like environment where devotion was demanded, obedience was expected, and questioning was punished.Nicole entered the relationship with Betty from a place of ambition and a desire to work with a woman who embodied spiritual entrepreneurship. Initially impressed by Betty's visibility, network, and her promise of deep, transformational work, she soon encountered unethical sales tactics and misleading revenue claims. Nicole describes how Betty used spiritual teachings as weapons—convincing her to ignore her instincts, surrender personal autonomy, and submit to a system that prioritized Betty's ego over real transformation. How does a mentor create an environment where independent thought feels like betrayal?What does it take to wake up and see the manipulation for what it truly is?And once the spell is broken—how do you recover from the damage left behind?Nicole's story is one of awakening, resistance, and ultimately, escape. If you've ever felt uneasy about a spiritual leader's control or questioned whether a community was truly supporting your growth, this episode will strike a nerve.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:53) The Deeper Trauma Work(01:58) The Sacred Money Mind Program(04:31) In Today's Episode...Nicole Cherie Hess: Finding Betty(09:11) The Unethical Sales Call and The Revenue Share Deal(12:53) 6 and 7 Figures Who?(21:55) The Dark and Devious Companion - A.K.A.

Oh boy. Ricky Glassy is back for his 5th appearance on Trash & this time brings longtime/first time friend of Esther and Ricky, Brent Mornin. Oh boy. Believe it or not this episode may be more awkward then the last Rick eppy except this time, the comics (wait for it) get vulnerable. They talk relationships, punching down, murdered first loves, frozen semen, playing versus hurting feelings + much more. We love this little slice of vulnerability & encourage all our male slugs to follow the lead of Brent & Ricky — we hope it was as cathartic for you as it was for us.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, are they really a narcissist? The complexities of narcissistic relationships can be overwhelming, leaving you questioning your own sanity. However, it's crucial to understand that the word "narcissist" is merely a label, not a definition of your worth. The spectrum of narcissism is vast, with varying behaviors and traits that can make it challenging to pinpoint. Remember, no true narcissist would ever question their own narcissistic tendencies. If you find yourself pondering this, it's a sign that you're not the problem. Instead, focus on your healing journey, as the path to recovery is not an easy one. Seek support, explore your emotions, and reclaim your voice. Your well-being is paramount, and with the right guidance, you can break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse. 0:00 Introduction and Podcast Rebrand 1:14 Upcoming Episodes and Guest Interviews 2:48 Identifying Narcissists and the Narcissism Spectrum 4:44 Impact of Narcissistic Relationships on Victims 7:41 Physiological and Emotional Effects of Narcissistic Abuse 11:36 The Abuse Cycle and Trauma Bond 13:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Quiz link https://m.me/carolinestrawson?ref=podcast Podcast Resources: Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/

Have you struggled to let go of your relationship with a narcissist? The trauma bond created in narcissistic abuse can feel like an addiction, with physiological reasons behind the difficulty to break free. Understanding the hormone secretions and brain chemistry involved is key to developing the necessary strategies, intention, and awareness to heal. Somatic tools and deep trauma work are essential for thriving after narcissistic abuse, as simply ignoring the situation or waiting for time to heal often falls short. Recognising the unseen, psychological nature of this abuse, rather than focusing on visible bruises, is crucial. Becoming a cycle breaker and raising awareness about narcissistic traits and coercive control can empower both the individual and the broader community. With the right support and education, it is possible to overcome the trauma bond and reclaim your life after narcissistic abuse. 0:00 Trauma Bonding and Addiction 1:08 Upcoming Masterclass and Podcast Relaunch 8:04 Therapy and Coaching Techniques 8:20 Personal Journey and Healing 16:05 Support and Community Podcast Resources: Masterclass link https://carolinestrawson.com/trauma-bond New podcast guest application form https://form.jotform.com/caroline1973/podcast-guest-application Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/

Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Nadine Macaluso, renowned therapist and trauma expert, shares her journey of overcoming a toxic relationship with "The Wolf of Wall Street" and explains the dynamics of trauma bonds. Together, we explore how these relationships form, why they're so difficult to leave, and actionable steps for breaking free and rebuilding your life. Dr. Nae offers profound insights, practical strategies, and hope for anyone trapped in a trauma bond. Key Topics Covered: 1. Dr. Nadine's Personal Journey Married to the infamous “Wolf of Wall Street,” Jordan Belfort, and the realities behind the glamour depicted in the movie. Her experience with love bombing, coercion, abuse, and the eventual breaking point that led her to leave. How her journey inspired her to become a therapist specializing in trauma and toxic relationships. 2. What Is a Trauma Bond? A toxic, dysfunctional relationship characterized by power imbalance and cycles of intermittent reinforcement (e.g., love bombing followed by abuse). Key conditions: One partner seeks control while the other becomes emotionally attached despite the harm. The confusing mix of highs and lows that keeps people trapped in these relationships. 3. Recognizing a Trauma Bond Signs of a trauma bond: self-sacrifice, self-abandonment, and rationalizing abusive behavior. The importance of radical acceptance and recognizing the reality of the relationship. Dispelling the myth that the victim is at fault for the abuse. 4. Breaking Free from a Trauma Bond The importance of having a plan before leaving: gather financial, legal, and personal resources. Learning to “wear the mask” and act normal while preparing your exit. Why reaching out for support and building resilience in a safe community is critical. 5. Rebuilding Your Life After Leaving Turning the focus inward: rediscovering who you are, addressing developmental trauma, and strengthening your self-worth. The role of self-care, therapy, and community in stabilizing after a trauma bond. Embracing the healing journey as an opportunity to create a life you love. 6. Dr. Nae's Advice for Healing Abuse is never the victim's fault, and healing is possible for everyone. The importance of recognizing the impulse to heal and following it step by step. Building new neural pathways to replace patterns of shame and self-blame with empowerment. Key Takeaways: Trauma bonds are rooted in control and manipulation, not love. Recognizing the reality of the relationship is the first step to breaking free. Healing requires a plan, support, and the willingness to prioritize your self-care and growth. The power to rebuild your life lies within you, and a brighter, healthier future is possible.

Www.weaponizedlove.com - (all narc con support services)#narccon #narcissist #toxic relationshipThe narcissistic FOG targets of narcissists get entrapped in and remain so post discard or when the relationship is long gone, is difficult to explain away using the school of psychology alone. The narcissist is actually best explained in analogous terms as a spiritual criminal or sole thief/trader, such is the inexplicable hold they exert over their supply sources, ie human beings. It is noticeable to loved ones of a target of a covert narcissist, that while they remain physically present throughout the relationship with their narcissistic partner they don't appear themselves or to be present in spirit. Also, despite logically knowing the narcissist is out to destroy a person, it appears difficult for their former partners/targets to escape the pull of a narcissist even returning to the relationship, despite knowing it's not a good move.

Trauma bonds in men, Part 2In this episode, I want to delve deeper into the topic of men and the core issue of shame, which is particularly high in those who have experienced trauma or abuse. Men often struggle to express these experiences, especially in heterosexual relationships, due to societal expectations and the belief that their value is based on what they provide.Shame is a pervasive emotion that can be extremely challenging to navigate because it makes individuals feel fundamentally flawed. This emotion often leads to depression, anxiety, and guilt, creating a vortex of painful feelings. Men face difficulty in dealing with shame because they're unsure of how to navigate it and are bombarded with mixed messages from society.Society has evolved to focus on equality in relationships, challenging traditional gender roles. Men are often valued based on their roles, what they provide, and their characteristics. While it's important to strive to be the best version of oneself, this emphasis on external factors coupled with shame makes it hard for men to stand up against mistreatment.Childhood experiences further reinforce this shame, as boys are often punished for pushing boundaries. They learn that expressing themselves may lead to more punishment, so they hide their true selves and conform to others' expectations.Shame responses can manifest as withdrawal, self-attack, avoidance, or attacking others. Men who have carried shame for extended periods may resort to attacking behaviors to cope with their own feelings of worthlessness.To address these issues, it's crucial to distinguish between what belongs to you and what belongs to the other person in the relationship. You can't change someone else, but you can work on your own self-worth and boundaries. Taking calculated risks by opening the door to your emotions and experiences can help gauge whether the relationship is worth pursuing.Ultimately, understanding the complexity of shame and its impact on men is essential for both personal growth and building healthier relationships.If you want to get in touch you can find me on Instagram @dr.sarahalsawy or www.healtraumabonding.comSupport the Show.Set yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

Here are the top five risk factors that make you prone to entering a trauma-bonded relationship:Insecure Attachment Style: Many of us, including you and me, might have an insecure attachment style, which can lead to difficult relationship patterns. Feeling unworthy of love, fearing rejection, and oscillating between wanting love and avoiding rejection are common issues. This insecurity can lead us to seek validation from unhealthy sources, reinforcing our feelings of unworthiness.Low Self-Esteem: Low self-worth often manifests in our inability to set boundaries and express needs. Boundaries are crucial for healthy relationships, but if you or I don't feel worthy, we might not enforce them, leading to a cycle of neglect and unmet needs. In toxic relationships, our self-esteem can plummet, causing us to neglect our own needs and boundaries.Achiever or Perfectionistic Traits: High achievers and perfectionists often have a strong inner critic and believe they must continuously prove their worth. This can attract partners with narcissistic tendencies who criticize and devalue us, reinforcing our inner doubts and pushing us into a cycle of trying to earn their approval.High Empathy and Sensitivity: If you're highly empathic or a people-pleaser, you might be at risk. You might overemphasize a partner's good traits, even if they treat you poorly most of the time. This overempathy leads you to make excuses for their behavior, seeing only the good and ignoring the bad. This can create a cycle of self-sacrifice, where you feel responsible for their happiness and overlook your own needs.History of Childhood Abuse or Neglect: Childhood trauma significantly impacts adult relationships. If you faced neglect, you might normalize this treatment and work harder to prove your worth in adulthood. If you experienced abuse, you might always walk on eggshells, aiming to please others and maintain peace. This makes it difficult to recognize and express your needs and emotions, leading to relationships that echo these harmful patterns.Recognizing these risk factors can help you heal and create healthier relationship patterns. It's important to ground yourself in your own worth and set clear boundaries. Your worth is infinite, and you deserve relationships that reflect that.

Caroline Strawson, trauma therapist and coach, discusses narcissistic abuse and the importance of healing from it. She explains that narcissistic abuse is often misunderstood and overlooked because it happens behind closed doors.

Narcissism is not a black and white concept, but rather a spectrum. It is important to understand narcissism through a trauma-informed and internal family systems lens. Those who experience narcissistic abuse often have core emotional wounds and protector parts that come up to distract and soothe them. Healing from narcissistic abuse is a lifelong journey that involves building capacity in the nervous system, regulating emotions, and re-parenting the wounded inner child. Community support and validation are crucial for healing from narcissistic abuse.

In this week's Shot@Love episode From 'Wolf of Wall Street" Ex-Wife to Empowered Psychotherapist: Dr. Nadine Macaluso's Story of Resilience and Love, we talk all about surviving toxic relationships, trauma bonds, narcissistic abuse, and healing. Have you ever found yourself trapped in a story that wasn't your own? Today, Shot@Love features Dr. Nadine Macaluso, whose life once sounded like a plot from a Hollywood movie; in fact, it was. But behind the glittering facade of a marriage to the notorious "Wolf of Wall Street," Jordan Belfort, lay a reality far removed from the glamorous image. From a model navigating the gritty streets of Brooklyn to a psychotherapist and author, Dr. Macaluso's narrative is one of profound transformation and resilience. She shares her journey of self-discovery, the intense dynamics of her past relationship, and how she used her experiences to fuel her passion for helping others in their own quests for healing.The struggle to find one's voice amidst the chaos is a journey many can relate to. Dr. Macaluso's account spills light on the often unseen trauma bonds underpinning some relationships. Her insights into the trials she faced during her marriage and the challenges of managing a turbulent household while nurturing a career are both sobering and inspiring. In this raw conversation, we also dissect the cultural shifts that have propelled women from a place of competition to one of mutual support—celebrating the newfound strength in women's solidarity through movements like #MeToo and the push against victim-blaming.But beyond the past lies a blueprint for the future. Dr. Macaluso offers hope and guidance on how to rebuild life after escaping abuse and trauma. She discusses the power of setting boundaries, the role of recovery, and the significance of trust in forging authentic relationships. Her story is more than an echo of her former life; it's a testament to the courage it takes to step into the light of self-truth and to love oneself fiercely in the aftermath. Join us as we embrace Dr. Macaluso's message of empowerment, hope, and the enduring quest for love and safety in our relationships.To learn more about Dr. Nadine Macaluso, follow her on Instagram @therealdrnadine or visit her website, www.drnae.com.
