  • Life saving podcast

    I spent the entire summer listening to this podcast. It helped me understand what I was experiencing and feeling. It helped me know that it wasn’t my fault. I’ve become educated in betrayal trauma through this podcast. So much so, that my therapist is surprised at the words and understanding I have surrounding betrayal trauma. Thank you, Amie, for helping me through this painful experience.

    I had to take time out in my life as I didn’t know how to deal with a divorce. I started walking my child to school everyday and on the way back listen to this podcast. It truly saved me… I have cried, I have brainstormed, my expectations have been rebaselined, I have learnt what I have control of, I have learned that I am the creator and chooser of my new life… I felt like Aimee was me… everything she said (except for the dating bit) I could connect to. I thought I was going through something n... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

190. Trusting After Betrayal With David Richo PhD
Q: How can someone move forward when there is ongoing injustice or lack of accountability from the other person?
Divorce or separation can be that boundary; focus on strengthening yourself, seeking witnessing and validation from within or from supportive allies, and avoid chasing payback, while recognizing the journey toward healing may involve ending the relationship.
190. Trusting After Betrayal With David Richo PhD
Q: What are your thoughts on what trust really is and how it functions in a relationship after betrayal?
Trust is a deliberate risk where you choose to open your heart, understanding that people can fail, and you must build inner resources and self-trust to remain safe and give or receive trust without losing yourself.
177. January Live Q&A; Self Compassion, Self Regulation, and Rebuilding Trust With Yourself
Q: How do you balance self-compassion versus self-advocacy?
Self-compassion should always be present, even when you realize you made a choice that wasn't ideal. It's essential to bring compassion into understanding what your body really needs.
178. Breathwork After Betrayal: How Somatic Healing Helps Release Trauma Stored in the Body W/ Hali Roderick
Q: What can listeners do today to start connecting with their breath?
Listeners can intentionally notice their breath by paying attention to how it feels as they breathe in and out, using techniques such as hand placement on their chest or belly to enhance awareness.
178. Breathwork After Betrayal: How Somatic Healing Helps Release Trauma Stored in the Body W/ Hali Roderick
Q: Why does breathwork sometimes feel intense and scary?
It can feel intense because accessing your breath may require opening up and coming out of a self-protective state, which can be uncomfortable, especially for those with trauma.
