(6:22) "It's not that they wouldn't feel the emotion connected to the trigger, its the way that we react to that emotion would be different, or would be more constructive versus destructive." (14:59) "You are the observer of this moment. You are the thing that sees your thoughts, see your mind's reaction. You're the one who has the ability to see that and then once you see it you can make a choice. I'm not saying that's an easy choice, I'm not saying that when you choose not to react in the addictive, compulsive way, that you won't feel a lot of emotional distress. You absolutely will. However, that is what's needed." (22:30) "Emotions move us, they are an unconscious feeling that drives our thoughts. Our thoughts manifest into beliefs, our beliefs manifest into behaviors, our behaviors are practiced into habits, and our habits become our destiny."

S1 Ep 118118: Betrayed by Chronic Illness w/ Inna Topiler

Often when we think of health issues as a symptom of an unhealed betrayal we think on the grand scale of things, including cancer and heart disease. But did you know that everything from IBS, to skin issues, headaches, and chronic fatigue, could be a symptom of something greater? If you have experienced any type of health issue, there is a very good chance that an unhealed betrayal could be at the root of your symptoms. Inna Topiler is a certified clinical nutritionist practicing a functional medicine approach to health, founder of Complete Nutrition and Wellness, Host of the Health Mysteries Solved Podcast, and so much more. While Inna did not start out to work in functional medicine, it was after a slew of her own health issues and a disappointment with the traditional treatment she received, that her passion to help others get to the root of their underlying health issues and reclaim their health began to take hold. Today Inna is here to give us a look at the connection between your head and heart and explore the vital roles these connections play in your ability to live your life to the fullest. Chronic illness can be a result of your body betraying you, and it is only by directly addressing these unresolved betrayals that you can remove the physical manifestation of betrayal and start healing your betrayal through loyalty. If you are struggling with physical symptoms that you just can't make sense of, Inna wants to encourage you to look into your past betrayals, start understanding the connection between the mind and the body, and acknowledge your symptoms so that you can breathe healing towards it.

I was really frustrated because after months of seeing so many doctors I still had no answers at all. And I was angry, upset, I felt really lost, but this is where I started to feel betrayed." (3:10) "With his help, I embarked on this journey to balance my body. Now understanding what was happening, it was really really empowering for me." (11:28) "If there is anything going on in the body that normally may not be a problem, it will be an issue because of that weak immune system that we created because of the stress, which is really due to this old betrayal piece that people don't realize." (17:42) "We shouldn't be afraid to bring up the negative if we are doing it in a way that's controlled. Almost that we are highlighting it for deletion, that's how I like to see it." (22:34) "Once we feel it, the goal is not to blame it or make it go away. But rather we want to really acknowledge it and almost thank it, in a way, for showing up."

Instead of getting used to the voice of destructive fear that is prevalent in our society, Dr. Manly wants you to slow down and regain your power over your fear. When going through a betrayal it is easy to stick to what you know and stay in your pain because it is familiar. Through the application of Dr. Manly's strategies, you can start to strengthen the constructive over the destructive and stop giving your betrayal wiggle room. It is possible to overcome what is keeping you stuck, and with the help of Dr. Manly, you can gain insight into this challenging topic and find a way to focus on your optimal wellness.

Destructive fear does not like written agreements at all because destructive fear likes to be able to be manipulative and sneaky." (12:56) "When we make goals for ourselves, when we put things in writing, it becomes much more understandable for the psyche. That is why so many of us will make wishlists in our heads or think in our heads and not want to put it in writing. Because the minute we put something in writing, we feel a sense of clarity and accountability." (19:04) "There is something beautiful and connective about being held in a safe place where you can hear other women's stories. Their lows, their successes, and know that if they can do it, I can do it too." (21:48) "Everything is to do with a reminder to the self when you get weak, that these are real things that happen.

And really held by this fear that if I didn't adhere to all the rules and the conditions… then eventually when the end of the world happens, that I would die." (4:35) "It's so traumatic because everybody that you love, everybody that you hold dear in the world, just goes away. And you are left in this world that you don't really understand because you haven't been brought up like other people." (13:28) "I just started to realize that actually what I was taught when I was growing up, around associating with the right people and being careful about who influenced your mind, that was actually right. But they were doing it in a really controlling way, whereas I discovered that actually, it was my choice, it was my choice who I wanted to associate with." (17:28) "They were doing this out of love because they truly thought it was the right thing. And I think the understanding around that, and not actually blaming them… that was the first thing, and then the second thing was really truly believing in myself that I was destined for more."

Tracy Malone is the founder of Narcissist Abuse Support, a global resource that helps victims in over 145 countries heal after a narcissistic relationship. Whether it is a romantic partner, family member, friend or co-worker, narcissists thrive on getting what they can out of people, which is why the pain from this type of betrayal can run so deep. Betrayal is just part of the package when dealing with a narcissist, and the sad truth is that they will never change. By putting language towards narcissistic tendencies, understanding the stages and tendencies of a narcissist, and not sharing your shame story unless someone deserves it, you can learn how to protect yourself from becoming vulnerable to a narcissists' game. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, wanting to heal and get to the stage of 'no-contact' or are looking to understand the mind of a narcissist, Tracy is here to shine a light on a topic so many struggle with. Are you ready to break the pattern of narcissistic abuse and learn your own internal lessons so that you stop attracting or falling prey to narcissistic tendencies?

(16:10) "[Narcissists] can't really change themselves. They can go back into that love bombing stage, and they can act, but they are never ever going to be able to feel empathy." (18:00) "Abandonment is not just 'daddy left when I was six'. It's someone not being there for you emotionally who is in your life. So if you have been with a narcissistic partner, they have emotionally left you and you feel abandoned."

S1 Ep 77077: Moving From Wounds to Empowerment w/ Monica Bennett

Transformation happens through consistent action, major perspective shifts, and a willingness to adventure into the unknown. Regardless of how much trauma and betrayal you've experienced in your life, if you're willing to put the work in, you will see results. Our guest, Monica Bennett, shares today how she's worked through her past to now help women overcome theirs. Monica's parents were both Holocaust survivors and her childhood was full of fear and uncertainty. She grew up in an unhappy and disappointing environment and later learned that she was generationally passing these traumas onto her daughter. But over the years, she's learned many coping mechanisms for working through and healing from her trauma. The way we respond to betrayal can actually become a pattern in our lives; it's something we get used to. Breaking that pattern helps us move forward. Monica finds that writing three pages of her thoughts every morning helps her make sense of her thoughts. She also shares how other aspects of her life impact how she responds to trauma, including the food she eats. Monica explains that one of the hardest parts of healing from trauma, for her, was learning who she was outside of it. When you've sat in trauma for years, do you really know who you are? She gives us some examples of how she learned who she is. And while it's not for everyone, Monica worked with a holistic shaman for a number of years to get to the root cause of her trauma. How have you committed to working through your trauma every day? Let us know what you gained most from Monica's story in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode How to move forward after betrayal Why betrayal can impact multiple generations How responding to betrayal can become a pattern Why writing out morning pages every day can help you understand your betrayal How your food habits can impact how your body responds to betrayal How you can create your identity outside of trauma What mirror work is and how it can help you move through trauma What role a shaman can play in working through feelings of betrayal Why you need to commit to working through betrayal every day What can help you break through old limiting beliefs Quotes "Once you start looking and becoming aware of your past betrayal, you have understanding. Once you have understanding, then you have clarity. And once you have the clarity, then you can start to move forward." (3:00) "These words, these neuropathways, are so almost hardwired, that slowly we have to learn to disconnect like a wire to a plug in the wall. We have to learn to disconnect slowly." (15:00) "Unfortunately, you have to step out into the unknown if you do want to heal. And that's where the tricky part comes because the unknown can be so uncomfortable, that you'll come back to the known, even though that is so uncomfortable. But at least it's familiar." (18:18) "I realize that not every day is a good day, but I know I have the insight to navigate the days with gratitude."
