S1 Ep 71071: On the Other Side of Betrayal w/ Johanna Lynn

Most of what we are doing comes from our subconscious programming that is largely influenced by our family patterns. Your lineage could be a great indicator of your susceptibility to being betrayed, or being a betrayer, and it is only by understanding it that you can correct your patterns and move forward. Johanna Lynn is the founder of the Family Imprint Institute and helps her clients resolve painful patterns that can live on in generations as if on repeat. Your unconscious loyalty to a parent, or your ancestral alarm clock, could be having a major impact on the way you make your decisions and your ability to find happiness. We tend to paint our partner with the same brush of what we didn't get enough of as a child, and the way you are triggered in a relationship can help you understand the greater forces at play. Invisible factors that you have inherited play a major role in how you make decisions about your life and relationships. Johanna is here to explain exactly how you can take control of those patterns so you can keep the good and get rid of the rest. Are you ready to be real about your lineage and put your pain to bed? Share what you learned in this episode in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode Recognizing the invisible factors that play into how you make decisions Why you shouldn't jump back into a relationship too soon after your betrayal The importance of giving your child equal access to each parent What to do if you are noticing narcissistic behavior in yourself or your partner Digging into the impact your family lineage could be having on your relationship Quotes "They say 70% of what goes on in a marriage has to do with each other's family of origin. But I can tell you, the more years I am in this work, the more I am convinced its a lot more like 99%." (5:46) "Until we've really recognized, 'aha, this was the part I brought into the relationship that kind of exploded in front of my face', were less likely to recreate that in the next relationship." (11:02) "We're doing this not for the ex, were doing this for our children. Children do best with equal access to both parents, and the last thing we want is our children to be on our side against their own father. This is a huge determinant to kids and amplifies the likelihood that they will show up in a similar relationship." (22:33) "Betrayal doesn't have to be the end of your story; perhaps it is the start of a brand new book, with all kinds of new experiences. So make it a learning experience that opens the door to something better."

S1 Ep 64064: A Mother's Betrayal by Passing Along Trauma w/ Emily Wanderer Cohen

If you feel certain emotions but aren't sure of where they come from, it could be intergenerational trauma passed down from the DNA of your parents and grandparents. This phenomenon has been scientifically researched and is something that Emily Wanderer Cohen is very familiar with. After being raised by a mother who survived the Holocaust, it took years of self-reflection for Emily to forgive this inherited family trauma and find joy in life again. Now Emily works to help others uncover their own intergenerational trauma, find acceptance and forgiveness for this betrayal of expectations, and move forward gracefully. Instead of focusing on your families history of disease, Emily focuses on your families history of trauma to find the unexplained reasons that you may be dealing with physical or mental ailments. Just like eye color can be passed down, so can trauma, and it is only by acknowledging this history that you can remove your negativity bias and find healing. Learn exactly how trauma can be passed down from one generation to the next, how these unknown yet familiar experiences can impact your physical and mental health, and what first steps you should be taking to work through this intergenerational betrayal and become more grounded in what you want for yourself. Inherited familial trauma can take a serious toll on your health, relationships, and self-worth if you do not heal yourself from the root. If you are ready to get a grip on your epigenetics and find ways to move beyond the past, this episode is for you. How has your family constellation impacted how you interact with the world? Share your story in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode How to know if your physical ailments could be related to an unhealed family trauma Typical familial traits that can be passed down through generations Classic textbook characteristics that can be seen by Holocaust experiences Ways to heal from generational trauma through acceptance and mindset work Specific body-based activities to help you progress through your cellular memory Quotes "What epigenetics says is when someone is exposed to a certain trauma, there are genes that are turned on and off when it is passed down into the DNA of their offspring, and it ends up evolving and changing." (7:32)"People will come to me and say 'I don't know why I am anxious, I don't know why I am depressed, there is nothing in my life that I have experienced that explains this.' That's when we start digging deeper into the parents and grandparents, the family constellation." (12:25) "If an external environment can change your DNA, then it stands to reason that you have some control in a way to stop it or change it back or change it to a different way." (17:55) "A lot of times these thoughts just go around and around and around in your head, and if they do that you can't change them really. You need to change the story, it's just a story you are telling yourself." (22:51) "What typically happens is they come in with anger and resentment and anxiety. And they leave with calm, joy and forgiveness."

The founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Anne is passionate about providing education and support to women who have experienced an abusive betrayal and are seeking healing. After realizing that she was in an abusive relationship herself, Anne founded Betrayal Trauma Recovery as a means to help women gain the words and acceptance necessary to explain and define an abusive betrayal experience in order to move on and make forward progress. Today she dives in deep as we explore themes of our oversexualized society and its harmful impact on women, the importance of collective grief and support, and why we need to become better educated on what abuse looks and sounds like. Anne and I are here to make sure that you know that you are not crazy, and you are not alone. Listen in as Anne explains some common forms of abuse found in betrayal situations, ways to identify your abuse and set boundaries, and the importance of believing victims and trusting women. When you are able to educate yourself about abusive betrayal and find a support system of women who have been through it, you can walk through the fog and come out on the other side more aware and present than ever before. By supporting all women, not just victims, to achieve a happier, healthier and more peaceful life, we can reduce the abuse cycle and resolve our issues at the core.

(10:54) "Our community is an amazing place where women can feel validated, and where they can hear their experience through someone else's words sometimes." (12:08) "The misogyny that is rampant right now and the Me Too Movement really shows that people don't understand the way that objectifying women harms them."

Deep trauma experienced as a child by someone that you trust can have lasting impacts for the remainder of your life. In some cases, specifically in trauma happening before the age of nine years old, that trauma can lead to D.I.D or dissociative identity disorder, more commonly known as multiple personality disorder. JD Covert was exposed to this type of trauma and subsequent personality affliction first hand and has come out the other side to share her story and help others dealing with D.I.D know that they are not alone. It takes a true understanding of D.I.D to realize that you are not weak, you are in fact a survivor.

We explore the process in which you can create alters as a means of protection or defiance from childhood, how to get yourself to work as one cohesive unit instead of separate parts, and how to successfully live a full life as a host. Once you come to terms with you or a loved ones D.I.D you can start to heal by recognizing triggers, and the signs of going into an alter so you can heal. Plus, once your alters recognize that you can take care of yourself, they will only be called upon when it is the best situation. It is possible to live a productive and happy life with D.I.D once you are able to make sense and meaning of what you have experienced and where you are going.

S1 Ep 47047: When Vows Are Shattered: A Betrayer's Story w/ Tim Tedder

Tim Tedder entered into an affair sixteen years into his marriage and was equally as surprised by his actions as those closest to him. Tim decided to take a good look in the mirror to understand exactly how he had gotten to that place internally, as well as within part of a team. What he found was a lack of vulnerability and honesty, which he has since harnessed into a counseling career to help others avoid the regret that he has experienced. Get ready for a brand new perspective as we go inside the mind of a betrayer to gain an understanding of why someone betrays, what an affair looks like from a betrayers standpoint, and how to be honest with the mess that you have made to move on either as a couple or individually. Tim opens up about the shifting inner dialogue he had with himself that lead to his infidelity, signs that a betrayer is ready to change and heal versus one that has no intention to change, and how to gain peace of mind knowing that your partner's decisions weren't about you. Even in the worst situations, Tim believes that healing can still be possible as long as both people are willing to put in the work. By working with a counselor such as Tim you can navigate the road bumps of living with someone day in and day out, and learn how to work through change instead of shutting down. It is time to take responsibility for your actions and create a context where you can be truly open and vulnerable with your partner and with yourself. Tim is living proof that with enough awareness and an openness to healing, it is possible to learn from betrayal and move forward. Let us know how infidelity has impacted your relationship with marriage in the comments on the episode page.

So low and behold here I am." (5:19) "In my mind, I was creating this space for the possibility [to cheat] instead of stepping into my marriage in an honest and vulnerable way." (8:19) "Putting the blame on her was undeserved. And I wish more wives could hear that with greater clarity sooner." (11:38) "Although we would never want someone to experience an affair, we are very thankful for what it caused in our life because of the choices we made afterward." (20:57) "I want to be that person that can step into another person's life and help them make sense of things before they experience the regret that I did."

S1 Ep 41041: Can I Ever Trust Again? w/ Dr. Debi Silber

Today I want to talk about trust because trust is one of the biggest areas affected when it comes to betrayal. I look at trust as a brick wall. This brick wall can take 10, 20, 30, 40 years to be built and to be constructed, and it can be taken down in a matter of moments. How does trust get to be rebuilt again? Brick by brick by brick, slowly, consistently and just over time, it cannot be rushed. When people say, "Trust is sacred, don't mess with trust," it's because it is so hard to rebuild, especially with that same person after you've been betrayed. We look at it and say, "Okay, well," after a betrayal experience, "I don't trust my betrayer. I don't even trust myself, because how did I not see this, know this, feel this?" It leaves us with this sense of insecurity. We don't feel safe because first of all when it comes to the other people if the people we trusted the most prove untrustworthy, who do we trust? When the ones we'd run to when other people are causing harm are in fact the ones causing the harm, where do we go? The combination of not being able to trust or not feeling safe enough to trust the person who hurt us and not even feeling safe and comfortable with our own judgment puts us in a really weird place. I get this question all the time, "Can I ever trust again," and, "How can I ever trust again?" The answer is, you can. It takes work, it takes time, but you can. I have this really simple-- Now when I mean simple it doesn't mean easy, it just means simple, recipe of how to rebuild trust, and it's a few steps. The way that I've seen it work well is in this order and in this process. The first stage is learning to trust in the simplest things. The simplest things, like the sun will rise every day, the sun will set every day. What you do is you choose something that you just know for sure will happen, and in knowing that that will happen and then it does, you can learn to trust that.

At 18 years old Moira Hutchison was recruited by a group of so-called spiritual healers to help her harness healing intuition, escape feelings of depression, and receive business training.

After escaping from an extremely confusing place both mentally and emotionally, she has turned her experience into a mindfulness-based life coaching business to help people who are feeling stuck to be motived to change their lives.

A story that moves from Edinburgh to London and Los Angeles, Moira's tale is unlike anything you have ever heard before and will motivate you to take control of your actions.

(18:05) "Each one of us knows the absolute truth. But sometimes it gets so screwed up, especially when we are talking about betrayal."

S1 Ep 39039: 7 Ways to Detox from the Major Toxins in Your Life w/ Dr. Debi Silber

Toxins are everywhere and wreak havoc on us physically, mentally and emotionally. Here are 7 ways to detox from the areas where toxins are likely to be impacting you the most. 1 - Foods: Nutrient void, chemical laden, processed "sub food" have little nutrient value and are keeping us overweight, addicted, inflamed and frustrated with the way we look and feel. Imagine how you'd feel if you detoxed from "Frankenfoods" that were loaded in chemicals and stripped of their vital nutrients? Imagine how you'd feel if you detoxed from products high in sugar, the unhealthy fat found in trans fats, vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils? How would you feel if you detoxed from an addiction to soda, candy or caffeine? Consider how much better your body would perform without the steroids and antibiotics found in most dairy or if you eliminated GMO's (genetically modified organisms) from your eating plan? What we eat is at the root of what's creating health and wellness or illness and disease. If your diet is filled with unhealthy chemicals, preservatives, sugar and more, it's impossible to look, feel and perform at your best. So what do you include? Include: Whole, real, nutrient-dense foods. Choose to not eat anything from a package or box. If it has a label, check to see if there are ingredients that sound like a lab experiment and consider what these ingredients are doing once they're inside of you! Become a savvy label reader or better yet, stick to things your grandmother would have cooked with or would have recognized as food. Do you think she would have added Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA-added to prevent spoilage) to her apple pie or would she just have encouraged you to have a slice when it was fresh out of the oven? 2 - Products: Cleaning products and beauty products can be loaded with harsh chemicals and detergents. They can contribute to long-term health effects, such as cancer, asthma, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity. The sudsing agents found in chemicals like diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA) can form nitrosamines, which act as carcinogens that penetrate the skin. So what can we do? Include: Greener options and products that are chemical free. Think about it: If it says "danger", "poison" or "hazardous to humans and domestic animals" on the label isn't that a sign we shouldn't be using it? 3 - People: If you surround yourself with people who are negative, critical, judgmental and pessimistic, can you really be surprised if you feel deflated, depleted and uninspired? If your group is gossiping about the latest breakup, spending their time complaining about their lives (while doing nothing to improve it) or criticizing others for what they have (while they may secretly want those same things) is it any wonder why you may feel stagnant, unmotivated and not feel very good about yourself? So what do you do? Include: Surround yourself with people who are supportive, inspiring, loving and kind. Join groups with like-minded positive people, network to expand your circle and steer clear of the naysayers and energy vampires. Can't find these positive, like-minded people? Start reading and learning about inspiring people, then find out where others who read these same books and learn from these same people hang out. Maybe there's a conference, class or online forum? It's been said that we're the 5 people we spend the most time with. Find those that uplift you, support you and encourage you to be the best and highest version or yourself and watch your best self emerge. 4 - Media (TV, print): Any media that has you feeling tense, anxious, fearful and afraid is keeping your stress response turned on and will create physical, mental and emotional wear and tear. Is it really necessary to know about the celebrity club fight, plastic surgery or cheating partner? These images do nothing to boost our confidence, self-esteem or personal development while having us feel "less than", not as beautiful, not as wealthy or not good enough in some way. Include: Commit to watching or reading any media that promotes a healthier, happier you. There are plenty of channels where you can learn how to cook, decorate, learn about a different culture, striving entrepreneur or heroic story. What we feed our minds, we become so be careful about what you're allowing into your awareness, into your subconscious…and into your life. 5 - Thoughts: Negative thoughts like I'm so fat, dumb, lazy or unlovable keep us safe, stuck and small. Is it any wonder why we're not going for that new opportunity, why we're not speaking to that potential partner or why we're accepting less than we deserve because of the negative self-talk we play in a continuous tape-loop in our head? So what can you do? Include: Commit to including more empowering thoughts like: "I'm working towards a healthier body each day", "I'm smarter than I give myself credit for" or "I'm not lazy, I just don't like doing that task!" Think better and bol

S1 Ep 37037: Wabi Sabi w/ Dr. Debi Silber

Hi, everybody. Today, I want to talk about a concept called wabi-sabi. I'm going to read the definition, and then I'm going to show you how this relates to betrayal. Ready? In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a worldview centered on the acceptance of transients, and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. It is the concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering, and emptiness or absence of self-nurture. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. What I love so much about this concept is it's a celebration of the imperfect.

When experiencing a time of trauma or stress, it can have a large impact on our body, especially your thyroid function, adrenal health, and metabolism.

S1 Ep 35035: Success w/ Dr. Debi Silber

My research involved those struggling to heal from the trauma of betrayal. At the beginning of my participants' healing journey, their perception of success may have involved simply getting out of bed and facing their day. Yet, as they healed, their perception of success shifted to feeling safe, secure, regaining their health, finding the gift left in the wake of their trauma, and rebuilding their life. As the perceptions of my study participants changed as they moved through their experience, my perception of success has changed as well. This experience has led to an entirely different perception of success and one that I believe is needed so desperately today. What is success? The newest car, the biggest house, the prettiest face or the most perfectly behaved children as determined by societal standards? If so, who are we when those external measures fade over time? If your measure of success is achieved through the accolades others bestow upon you-who are you when you no longer receive those accolades? If your measure of success is judged by what you collect, what happens when you stop collecting? If success is achieved at the expense of family, integrity, connection, meaning or contribution, can it really be considered a success? Who are you if you come in last place if you don't raise your hand if you take a longer route or travel a different path? What became so apparent during this journey was how fleeting and empty external measures of success can be, especially when we understand that we're feeding the unrelenting needs of the ego versus nourishing ourselves fully with our soul's calling for deep, rich and meaningful experiences. How has this created a new definition of success? Here's what I now see so clearly. When you can enjoy the quiet of your own company, that's success When you can easily open your heart for someone in need, that's success When you can think about those you love as a smile curls your lips and a warmth envelops your heart, that's success When you can surrender and grow comfortable with the discomfort of the unknown, that's success. When you think of giving up, giving in and going back to what was old and familiar…then refuse and remain on your journey forward, that's success. Success is facing your fears, slaying your dragons, healing your wounds and loving yourself. Success is thanking your ego for trying to protect you as you choose to trust the voice of your highest self instead. Success is knowing that even if you have nothing, you have everything you need to create a life that's rich, fulfilling and beautiful. Success is the outpouring of love from within, regardless of what external signs of validation you receive. Success is using your biggest obstacles as the catalysts to reveal your greatest gifts. Success is knowing that you are worthy, deserving and lovable…simply because you exist. Hellen Keller said: "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Here's my wish for you: May you use your skills and insights to drive humanity forward May your new insights light a path to the trail you're now ready to blaze May you reflect with pride on how far you've come, then lovingly allow for your next and most exciting chapter to unfold. May you serve as a role model and mentor, enthusiastically yet humbly sharing your light so that others are inspired to do the same You got this.

If you've seen the movie "Groundhog Day" Bill Murray relives the same day over and over again. At first, he's baffled, then angry and eventually he starts having a little fun with it as he realizes he can use the day to create whatever type of experience he wants and if it doesn't turn out well, no big deal, he can try again tomorrow. So many of us walk around with "Groundhog Day of the Mind". With this firmly in place, we have the same thoughts which lead to the same emotions, the same behaviors which create the same responses…day after day. What I find so interesting about this is that we struggle to understand why things aren't changing, why we're still stuck with the same habits that are leading us to frustration, illness, and unhappiness.

S1 Ep 31031: Co-Creating In The New Year w/ Dr. Debi Silber

January 1st brings with it more than just a date change. Very often as we ring in the New Year, we ring in a desire for newness- a hope to start fresh, to reach goals where we might have fallen short, to right wrongs, and to give ourselves another shot at achieving what we envision for our lives. Our goals are often pretty noble: Physically- Most people want to be a healthier and stronger version of themselves. Gym and weight loss memberships soar. Workout areas are packed with hopeful, eager participants who have no doubt that they'll achieve their goal in the next couple of months, whether realistic or not. Mentally- We are prepared. It's okay that last year didn't turn out as planned. We have a fresh new slate upon which to write a whole new script. Our goals are fueled with the belief that anything is possible, and we have a whole brand-new year to achieve what we were not able to in the past. Emotionally- New beginnings bring us hope. There's some inherent excitement at being able to start over. We purchase new calendars, new appointment books, and new journals. This, this is the year we are going to get grounded, centered and secure. Our new selves will allow us to enjoy relationships at a deeper, more authentic, and fulfilling level. Dating sites enjoy an increased flurry of activity as our new-found optimism fuels an expectation and anticipation that the partner who has eluded us in the past will be found. Spiritually- Time for meditation, yoga, and connecting with Spirit has made it onto our calendars. Mantras are developed, affirmations are said, spiritual practices are established. Since 600 BC we have used this time, culturally symbolized with the Baby New Year, to believe that we can create the life we've always wanted…even if we haven't been able to create it until now. Then…February hits. Slowly but surely, the gyms are less crowded. The concept of writing a new script has somehow fallen into the recesses of our minds. The calendar and appointment books are now filled with the same things we fill them with every year. The beautiful clean pages are filled with cross-outs, penciled in responsibilities and last-minute additions. Meditation time has been replaced with hitting the snooze button and our greatest mantra becomes, "Oh, God" or one that helps us release frustration and exasperation. What happens between January and February 1stand why does it happen to so many of us- even with such noble of goals? The truth is that it's impossible to create a new reality or a new life when the same old you shows up. As much as you would truly like or want to change the conditions of your life, it's impossible if nothing has changed within you- the co-creator. Dr. Joe Dispenza, world-renowned scientist, teacher, lecturer, and author, explains this beautifully when he explains how if you bring all of your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions of the past into the present, you can only recreate what you have always known. We see this so often in relationships. Someone wants a loving, healthy, and fulfilling relationship to make them happy. They may even truly believe that they are worthy and deserving of a great relationship but the truth is that if they are not happy, healthy and whole within themselves, they're not going to find it outside of themselves- regardless of the nature of the relationship. That is one of the many reasons I love the work that I do with betrayal. Very few people have never been betrayed, and betrayal doesn't always leave an indelible mark on our hearts. For the purpose of my study, I defined betrayal as the breaking of a spoken or unspoken rule by someone who has put his/her needs before your own and your wellbeing. Understandably, what I found in my study was that the deeper the relationship, the more dependent you were on the betrayer, the greater the wound of betrayal. If you are betrayed by an acquaintance, it won't have the same effect as being betrayed by a best friend, partner, or spouse. I also learned that the wounds of betrayal can run so deep, that people can stay "stuck" for months, years, or even a lifetime. So think about it, how do you show up for happy, healthy, fulfilling relationships when you aren't showing up that way? Betrayal can leave us feeling sick, stuck, small, vulnerable and struggling with what I've identified to be Post Betrayal Syndrome™. In addition, to being able to recognize the symptoms of Post Betrayal Syndrome, I have also developed a tried and true process that will move you from Betrayal to Breakthrough so that you can be your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual best. So much so that I even created the Post Betrayal Transformation (PBT) Instituteto help people heal from betrayal. As much as we would love to simply wave a magic wand and create the life of our dreams, it doesn't work that way. The New Year is a beautiful time to start fresh, and the hope and enthusiasm it brings is inspiring and challenging. When working to achieve those new

S1 Ep 29029: Crisis, Tragedy, Illness or Trauma: the Perfect Catalyst or Even...a Gift? w/ Dr. Debi Silber

A crisis, tragedy, illness or trauma can blindside us. It can take the wind out of our sails, stop us in our tracks, and leave life as we know it changed forever. It can wreak havoc on us physically, mentally and emotionally as we do our best to recover from the shock from what we never saw (or weren't willing to see) coming down the road. While these types of life-altering experiences can shake us to the core, have you ever considered the idea that they may possibly be the perfect catalyst for change or even…a gift? For many of us, our lives don't change unless they have to. We plod along going about our business and rarely stop to consider how we've been living. Many go through life almost sleepwalking; numbly and mindlessly getting through each day. We may go years in an unfulfilling job, with mediocre relationships, loveless marriages, poor health, low energy, and little joy. We may never have had the confidence we needed to pursue a unique skill that may have led us to discover our greatest passion and purpose. We may have spent our adult lives being too afraid to pursue an exciting opportunity or travel on an unfamiliar path that could have led to something spectacular. We may have put our lives on hold as we wait for the perfect time, season, reason or person to inspire us to take a bold step or make a big move. For some of us, we may have been so caught up in the details of our day that we were unable to see more than getting through our daily "to-do" lists. We do this day after day after day after day…until something wakes us up and somehow inspires us to take a different approach and begin the process of making a much-needed change. What is that something? Often it's a crisis, tragedy, illness or trauma. We often look at a crisis as a huge and negative disruption in our lives, one that throws us and we wonder if we'll ever recover from it. But you've heard the saying "as one door closes, another door opens." Well, that door probably closed because of a crisis, tragedy, illness, trauma or, maybe even just a major disappointment. It could have closed because that relationship finally ended, that diagnosis was just given, that business just took a turn, you had to make that major decision, or you got that phone call you hoped would never come. In either case, because one door closed, a new door was revealed. A door you may never have seen had that first door not closed. A new door, ready for you to open; leading to a very new, very different and possibly very welcomed chapter in your life. Why?

S1 Ep 27027: 10 Steps to Cope with Betrayal w/ Dr. Debi Silber

When we think of trauma, we often think of tragic accidents, natural disasters, the death of a loved one or a frightening diagnosis. These situations rock us to our core, shatter us as well as everything we've counted on. Yet, there's another type of trauma that can rock us as well and it happens when those we've trusted and/or were dependent upon betray us. It's called "betrayal trauma." For example, a child experiences sexual abuse from a relative, your partner steals the company funds, your spouse has an affair, your best friend lied to you. These traumas may range in severity but regardless, they all hurt because these betrayals destroy our trust. They shift our perspective, change how we view others and the world and leave us questioning our relationships and ourselves. How can you cope with betrayal?

S1 Ep 25025: 7 Steps to Dealing with a Terrible Outcome w/ Dr. Debi Silber

So things didn't go as planned. In fact, you may be looking at what seems like a colossal failure. It can be so challenging to pick ourselves up after falling down (repeatedly) and being someone known to "run enthusiastically in the wrong direction" I feel your frustration. Sure it's easy to give up and give in but here are 7 steps I've found really helpful to get back up again. Acknowledge it: Trying to pretend like it didn't happen may seem like a worthy goal but it's a recipe for prolonged pain. Here's where the saying "what we resist, persists" comes in really handy. By facing it, acknowledging it and looking at it squarely, you're able to see it clearly. Only when we can see things clearly are we able to learn and grow from what we've seen. Ruminate don't marinate: The process of rumination is when we go over an experience in order to make sense out of the situation. This can be really helpful to a degree. Once we've made sense out of it, it's important to move to the next step before we start marinating in it. Ruminate for too long and it becomes a very comfortable and familiar space and that's not where you want to stay. Use the information to see why something happened, possibly see what areas need to change for next time, but get out of that space before it's too cozy to leave. Learn from it: An experience is useless unless we learn the lesson it left in its wake. Did you learn you needed more support, more time, more direction or different resources? Do you see that the timing was off, your boundaries weren't specific enough or there was a challenge with communication? Here's where we're usually really hard on ourselves but try to approach this by speaking with yourself how you'd speak with a friend. I'm sure you wouldn't berate your friend, telling him/her how dumb their idea was and why they deserved to have it fail, so don't do that to yourself. Love, compassion, and patience are what's needed for this phase. Try a different approach: A willingness to change and doing something different is the only way to bring about a different result. It could be a different approach, a different method, a different level of support or even a different level of thinking. Changing how you think/act/react will ensure a different result next time. New rules: So you've looked squarely at your experience, learned from it, and know what you need to do differently next time. Now it's time to create some new rules if not for others, for yourself. What do you insist upon this time? What's a deal breaker and what needs to be in place before you invest your time, money, effort and energy again? Do you need to know your idea is divinely inspired, more strategically coordinated or better timed? Get those rules set so you're clear. It'll also give you more confidence when you try again. Forgive: Resentment is one of the most physically and emotionally destructive emotions we can have. It suppresses your immune system, creates accelerated aging and wreaks havoc on your body and mind. Whether that means forgiving yourself or forgiving the person who hurt you or let you down, forgiving and letting go of that resentment helps you let go of the pain and clear the space for a new beginning. Trust the process: I know it can seem like nothing ever goes your way and you're destined to spend a lifetime trying to get it right but the reality is, the universe is conspiring in your favor. Believe that, trust the process and watch it eventually unfold. Links: Check out the full show notes for this episode Women Hacking Betrayal Facebook Group Have you taken the Post-Betrayal Quiz yet?

S1 Ep 23023: Change w/ Dr. Debi Silber

Let's face it, change is hard and within change is the inherent fear factor- leaving what we have known and are comfortable with and not knowing what the future will bring. Of course, the more comfortable and content we are with our situation, the more difficult it is to make the adjustment. Yet even knowing that change in life is inevitable, it very often still fills us with a sense of grief. Losing a friend, job, or opportunity understandably fills us with tremendous sadness, as a break-up, betrayal, or disappointment can, but even seemingly happy occasions can be just as traumatic. Especially if they are situations that force us to move from one stage life to another. Graduating from high school or college, leaving a job or moving to a new location, birthdays, weddings and retirement can fill us with distress. Leaving what we've known, are used to, and are comfortable with, whether good or bad, can lead us to that overwhelming sense of loss and/or anxiety. The crux of the anxiety associated with change comes from the fact that we feel that we are losing something. At times, we may even feel that we have no control. Shifting that paradigm will go a long way to making the process smoother and less painful and it really isn't as hard as you may think.
