In this episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Dr. G to discuss rejection, emotional patterns, and how childhood experiences shape our relationships and self-worth. They explore how these patterns influence betrayal, healing, and transformation. Dr. G shares powerful insights on how to identify, isolate, and eliminate emotional wounds to break free from the cycle of rejection. 

Key Topics Covered: 

• The Formation of Emotional Patterns: By age 8, 80% of our emotional patterns are formed, and by age 18, our self-image is fully developed. This foundation significantly impacts our adult relationships. 

• Personality Types and Their Impact: The four personality types—Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, and Phlegmatic—affect how we respond to rejection and relationships. 

• The Role of Family in Emotional Development: How childhood environments and parental relationships shape emotional habits, including anxiety, anger, and rejection. 

• The Cycle of Rejection and Betrayal: How unresolved childhood wounds manifest in adulthood, leading to self-sabotaging behaviors in relationships.
