Sam's Healing Podcast

Today on the podcast you'll meet Tyler Patrick who is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Tyler shares his down to earth insight into how the unfaithful spouse can develop what he calls 'shame resilience.' Without the ability for the unfaithful to be resilient to shame, we'll continue to make every situation and conversation about us instead of our spouse or partner or even children. As long as we're making things about us, we're not empathetic, we're not kind, and we're not safe. Tyler is the cohost of a podcast entitled The Therapy Brothers where he discusses infidelity, betrayal trauma, addiction and several other topics related to marriage and family life. As a marriage and family therapist, Tyler has dedicated his career to mastering an understanding of recovery from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Tyler has come to believe that the men and women who embrace and live the principles of recovery do far more than get their lives back, they become the best kinds of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. He feels privileged to act as a guide and support to those who embark in the life transformation of living a connected lifestyle.

Today you'll meet a great friend and hero of mine, author John Lee. Author of over 25 books, and known therapist to therapists, John Lee has been a guest on Oprah, The View, 20/20, PBS and Barbara Walters. The father of Regression one might say, shares his poignant insight into how we regress in life and how to grow ourselves back up. "Regression is what happens to us when we leave the present moment. When we regress, we go from being clear-thinking adults to talking, acting, and sometimes even looking like children who are not getting what they want. We feel powerless and out of control, as if we don't have choices." John goes on to say regression is equivalent to feeling choiceless as adults. How many times during a fight with your partner or spouse have you felt like you were without choices? Have you ever felt like you were feeling very similar adolescent or child-like feelings during an argument with your spouse? ------ Sam's Healing Podcast is brought to you by one of infidelity recovery's most prominent and gifted influencers and YouTuber.

Today you'll meet Dr. Jill Manning who shares five key markers of emotional immaturity that help explain why we have affairs and develop addictions. An expert in her own right but compassionate to the wounds of both the betrayed and the unfaithful, Dr. Manning helps explain what emotional immaturity looks like in the unfaithful and how they can take practical steps to heal themselves and quite possibly, their relationship. While 'emotional immaturity' can sound like criticism or confrontational in nature, the fact is we need to understand why we unfaithful continue to jeopardize our lives, our families and our futures. A compassionate and insightful conversation is needed if both parties are going to be able to get to the root of the acting out and today Dr. Manning provides palatable wisdom for both parties to find new life again. Dr. Manning's diverse career has afforded her opportunities to be published in leading research journals; to testify before the U.S. Senate about the harms of pornography; to be featured in popular podcasts, magazines, TV shows, and documentaries; and to work clinically with resilient men, women, and youth who are striving to overcome some of life's darkest challenges. Dr. Manning is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH) who specializes in working with individuals impacted by sexual betrayal in their primary relationship.

Today you'll meet Jordan, a great friend and survivor of infidelity. The nuances to the betrayed male story are different, yet not worse nor better than the betrayed female. They are however, very challenging. It's my opinion betrayed males all over the world continue to feel ostracized and embarrassed, feeling as though they are some sort of albatross with little to no one to relate to. The internet continues to produce massive amounts of information about infidelity and the betrayed female or unfaithful male, yet remains primitive for the betrayed male. Jordan a brave and courageous friend has chosen to come forward and share just a little of his story in hopes of helping the other betrayed males find healing, insight and a feeling of belonging in ways they just don't usually find. Infidelity in and of itself is one of the most isolating experiences a human can endure and the betrayed male finds themselves riddled with hopelessness looking for direction and insight from other betrayed males who dare to share their story and experience. Today I hope you the betrayed male, and possibly unfaithful female will experience a sense of insight and comfort from Jordan's story. If you're a betrayed male or unfaithful female, I hope you'll reach out to me personally if you're looking for healing or insight into this journey and how to not only make it out alive, but find personal and maybe even relational transformation. ------ Sam's Healing Podcast is brought to you by one of infidelity recovery's most prominent and gifted influencers and YouTuber.

Today I welcome back Dr. Jake Porter into the podcast to discuss how the betrayed partner can deal with an unfaithful, narcissistic spouse while trying to save a marriage.

It's at this point I can hear some viewers asking the question, "Sam, is it really even possible for someone who is highly narcissistic to truly change?"

Not hope to be the same again, but hope to find new life and new meaning after monstrously difficult trauma and betrayal, while also providing tools to utilize.

It's also possible you've felt like your partner continually reverts back to a victim mindset in your situation?

Today I welcome back in podcast regulars, James and Sharon to discuss why partners cheat in relationships. It's a common burden the betrayed carry: that somehow they are the reason their spouse or partner cheated and they were not enough. Since they are then are responsible for their partner's cheating, they cannot draw boundaries, have hard expectations of their mate, and are then powerless in their situation.
