In this Season 4 premiere of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches look back on how a joke became a career, a community, and a movement, then dive straight into real life: bonus dad dynamics, parenting an autistic and ADHD son, and intentionally raising boys to be respectful, emotionally regulated young men. You will hear stories about work ethic, chivalry, opening doors, and a powerful moment with a Vietnam veteran that drives home why traditional values and gentlemanly behavior still matter. They also pull back the curtain on Peaches' new affirmations project, future PDF drops, and the idea of an intimate West Coast couples retreat at Point Lobos, showing you how they build family, business, and community on purpose. The heart of this episode is a raw email from a listener who left an emotionally and physically abusive relationship after a 15 year marriage and a childhood soaked in man hating and feminist indoctrination that labeled traditional women as “weak.” Chris and Peaches unpack trauma bonding, why people keep going back to abusers, how percentages like “he's good 85 percent of the time” are delusion, and what it actually takes to walk away, grieve the fantasy, and rebuild self respect. They tackle modern feminism, traditional marriage, AI and the economy, the collapse of standards in dating, and the responsibility to raise the next generation not to tolerate abuse. If you are looking for blunt relationship advice, traditional relationship and marriage guidance, help healing from abusive relationships, or practical masculine and feminine polarity talk without fluff, this episode is for you.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Das traditionelle Konzept des Stockholm-Syndroms oder der Trauma-Bindung werden seit Jahrzehnten verwendet, um zu erklären, warum Menschen in Gefangenschaft, Missbrauch oder extremer Abhängigkeit scheinbar positive Gefühle oder "Bindung" zu ihren Tätern entwickeln. Doch die Fachliteratur kritisiert den Begriff: Er ist unscharf, stigmatisierend und vermittelt einen falschen Eindruck von psychologischer „Bindung“. Der Fachartikel "Appeasement: Replacing Stockholm Syndrome as a Definition of a Survival Strategy " schlägt deshalb ein neues, neurobiologisch fundiertes Konzept vor. Appeasement beschreibt ein Muster biologischer Unterwerfung und Beschwichtigung, das entsteht, wenn ein Organismus keine andere Überlebensstrategie mehr hat. Das zentrale Erklärungsmodell dafür liefert die Polyvagal-Theorie. Ein Nervensystem löst Trauma Bonding erst, wenn es neue Sicherheit erlebt. Das passiert in Gruppen, Settings und Räumen, die genau dafür gebaut sind. Du bist nicht beziehungsunfähig. Dein Nervensystem versucht dich immer noch zu schützen - Bewirb dich für das intensive Gruppencoaching „Heilung durch Beziehung“ – Start 2026: https://www.laurawegmann.com/heilungdurchbeziehung ✨Kostenfreie Downloads & Ressourcen - Beginne mit dem Gratis-Audiokurs zu den Bindungsmustern + 33 Tagen Heilungsimpulsen: https://www.laurawegmann.com/bindungsmuster

Elissa shares how her abusive relationship began, the isolation that followed, and the brutal erosion of her confidence, voice, and sense of self. She describes the moment she realized she had become a shell of the person she once was—and the day she finally escaped with her son, her dog, and a single laundry basket of clothes. Nick guides the conversation through the grief that survivors carry long after leaving: grief for the life they imagined, grief for the version of themselves they lost, and grief for the safety they never had. Elissa's story is raw, grounding, and rooted in truth, offering survivors and supporters a roadmap toward healing, self-awareness, and reclaiming personal power. This episode opens the door to conversations many survivors have never been able to speak out loud, shining a light on emotional strength, community, and the long road out of darkness. Elissa interview - transcript -…This episode answers:What are the early warning signs of emotional abuse that most people miss?Why do so many survivors stay, return, or feel trapped in abusive relationships?How does identity loss show up during long-term domestic violence?What does the escape process really look like for survivors with children?How can survivors rebuild confidence, autonomy, and safety after trauma?Key Takeaways:Abuse often begins with love-bombing, isolation, and subtle emotional erosion.Survivors grieve the loss of identity, safety, and autonomy long before they can leave.Leaving an abusive relationship is rarely a single event—it's a repeated, dangerous cycle.Self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a survivor gains after escaping.Healing requires support, community, and the reclamation of personal voice and power.

Welcome back to The Psychology Sisters! In our October unfiltered episode, Kat recaps her trip of a lifetime swimming with humpback whales in Tonga and a humbling pit! Aimee shares her half marathon run for DIPG raising money for children with rare cancer. Our loves and leaves are as follows: Love: Pistachio spread from Coles, Haigs chocolate pistachio balls and Fat bear week. Kat also recommends line dancing!! Leave: The summer I turned pretty and feeling cringe/ embarrassed. October is Mental Health Month and this year's theme is “Taking Steps on Your Wellbeing Journey.” It's all about the small, meaningful ways we can move toward better mental health — not in a perfect way, but in a real, human way.And it's also BPD Awareness Week from October 1st to 7th a really important time to remember that people living with Borderline Personality Disorder are not “too much,” “too complex,” or “too hard.” Recovery is absolutely possible with the right understanding and support and that message really ties into what we wanted to explore today. This episode's a bit of an unfiltered check-in for all of us as we head into the last few months of the year. We'll be chatting about two big things:1.End-of-year burnout: why it sneaks up on us, and how we can start taking steps now to prevent it.2.Trauma bonding: what it actually is, what it isn't, and how to recognise it.So if you're feeling a bit over it, tired, or emotionally stretched, this one's for you. Think of it as a gentle reset and a reminder that small steps really do matter on your wellbeing journey.Aimee + Kat You can find more of us here: Our Online Psychology practice: Did you know we have online appointments available with our amazing therapists Lisa or Maddie.

Women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond fall into toxic relationship cycles shaped by people-pleasing, anxious attachment, generational trauma, and self-sacrifice. They shrink themselves, mute their needs, and sacrifice their worth in an attempt to maintain peace or avoid rejection—only to end up with resentment, eroded self-esteem, and unfulfilling partnerships.Dr. Sarah explains why traditional sacrifice is not the answer—and introduces a powerful reframe: sacrifice is not about losing yourself, but about letting go of comfort to step into long-term alignment with your authentic self.Key takeaways from this episode:The difference between unhealthy self-sacrifice that destroys attraction, respect, and self-worth vs. healthy sacrifice that fuels growth and alignmentWhy you must sacrifice the fear of rejection to be fully authentic and attract love built on honestyHow to sacrifice instant gratification (toxic relationship patterns, trauma bonds, and dopamine-driven attention-seeking) in order to protect your long-term self-respect and emotional healthThe importance of sacrificing old core beliefs and subconscious programs that keep you trapped in cycles of self-doubt, self-criticism, and unhealthy relationshipsHow strategies like somatic therapy, hypnosis, breathwork, and nervous system reprogramming can help shift deep patterns and unlock true relational freedomThe paradox of love? The less you sacrifice your authentic self, the more love thrives. By making the right type of sacrifice, you preserve your self-worth, raise your standards, and naturally attract the right partner—someone who loves the real, unedited you.Toxic relationship cycles, self-worth in relationships, anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, people-pleasing in relationships, fear of rejection, instant gratification in relationships, trauma bonds, generational trauma, subconscious reprogramming, somatic therapy, breathwork healing, hypnosis for relationships, building secure attachment, finding the right partner, healthy sacrifice in relationships, self-sabotage in dating.Support the showWelcome to Trauma Bonding to Secure Relationships with Dr Sarah — the podcast that helps ambitious individuals and couples heal trauma bonding and toxic relationship cycles to build secure attachments and loving healthy relationships.

In episode 294 of Fitness & Sushi, we pull back the curtain on one of diet culture's most damaging exports: The Biggest Loser. What looked like “just TV” was actually cultural programming that rewired a generation of women to believe their worth was tied to shrinking their bodies. Contestants were pushed past the point of safety, trainers used shame and abuse as “motivation,” and viewers absorbed it all as truth. The fallout? Broken metabolisms, broken trust in our bodies, and decades of food and body obsession. In this episode — Fit for TV: How The Biggest Loser Broke Us — and How We Heal — you'll learn…
You know the relationship isn't healthy. Your friends see it. You feel it. So why can't you let go?

Today we're diving deep into the neuroscience of trauma bonding: why your brain gets hooked on the highs and lows, what it's trying to protect you from, and how to break free from cycles that feel like love but aren't.____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/why-you-stay-the-brain-science-of-trauma-bonding-and-how-to-break-free Try this Self-Assessment Quiz and Reflection Guide: Is It Love or a Trauma Bond? https://abbymedcalf.com/trauma-bonding-assessmentGet Therapy-to-Go bundle!

Amy and Kat are feeling tired and in need of a reset. Enter: Sky Journaling! It’s a creative exercise that blends mindfulness with doodling and ends in some very honest cloud-inspired poems. They also break down the difference between pop psychology vs actual psychology, unpacking commonly used (especially on social media) terms like trauma bonding, gaslighting, and being triggered. And finally, inspired by a school activity Amy’s son is doing, they invite you to “find a win” (big or small) because sometimes, showing up at all is the victory.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in a one-sided relationship—where you're the fixer, the rescuer, the peacekeeper—this episode is your wake-up call. In this powerful episode, best-selling author and codependency recovery expert Lisa A. Romano uncovers the invisible thread between childhood emotional neglect and codependent behaviors in adulthood. If you: Feel overly responsible for other people's emotions Stay in toxic relationships hoping things will change Obsess over your partner's moods Feel like you've lost your sense of self ...you're not broken. You're running survival patterns wired into your nervous system long ago—when love meant self-abandonment, and your feelings didn't matter. This isn't your fault. But now that you know, it becomes your power. Lisa explains how codependency is a subconscious trauma response rooted in unmet emotional needs and a lack of safety in childhood. We mistakenly learn that love must be earned through fixing others—especially the ones who hurt us. But this only perpetuates the pain and draws us toward emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners. In this episode, you'll discover: How early childhood trauma wires your brain for codependency Why rescuing others is a subconscious survival strategy Why narcissists and toxic partners are drawn to codependents How to spot the thinking traps of codependency Actionable steps to reconnect with your authentic self Whether you're healing from a codependent marriage or waking up to your past for the first time, this episode will help you break free from emotional enmeshment and start living from a place of empowerment and emotional clarity.
