  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

200. Will My Kids Be OK After Divorce? A Daughter Answers/ Part 2
Q: How should a parent approach letting kids spend time with their other parent when there are tensions or concerns about safety or healing?
The key is balancing healthy boundaries with ongoing, age-appropriate honesty. Provide clear information without dumping your own emotions, trust that the environment will inform the child, and use external supports like therapy or youth groups to bolster their coping.
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
