In this episode we start off talking about how triggers effect people. Not in the “I’m offended and trigger” but real post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) way. We then take a return caller who is struggling with how their ex is about to recruit everyone from friends, evaluators, nanny’s and how it is driving them crazy. Then there is a rant on double binds and how “fighting” with someone like this is an exercise in frustration. We close with a caller who’s ex keeps coming back and wanting to “move back in”.

Panic attacks and anxiety! How in the world does one go through something this traumatic and overcome those panic attacks and constant anxiety? We talk about this in todays episode of the show. The conversations also delves into growing up in a toxic household, what if we had full custody, why an ex would want a divorce BUT still want to have sex, and the Caleb Leverett controversy.

Today’s show starts with a discussion on how “things” happen and tend to point us in the right direction. Even though our experiences are catastrophic and traumatic it can ultimately lead to a change in your life that is profound and ultimately very positive. We then go to a caller from India who had moved to the United States and after a failed toxic relationship had to return home to India. He is struggling with validation and purging the recurring thoughts and feeling out of his head.

Double binds are something we have to deal with in toxic narcissistic relationships. In this episode we talk about how bad they can be and how we are forced to fight things that we may not want to. One caller is dragged back into court because of visitation issues, another is representing himself in our, and finally a dad is struggling to support his daughter and missing her at the same time.

In today’s show we have a recurring theme of how toxic narcissistic people follow very similar patterns. It is as if they ALL follow the same playbook - which they ultimately do. It is very important to look at the actions verses the words of the person. This also means it is very important to “listen to your gut” and watch and believe the warning signs when you see/hear them!

The first week of the new show is complete! The show starts with a discussion from a viewer who’s ex is sending “friendly” emails and newsletters to their family trying to recruit them to their side. We also have a caller who is struggling with supervised visitations and the limitations of COVID-19 and a restraining order.

We received a voicemail where I viewer asked that we discuss how narcissists can be dangerous. Plus we have a call who wanted to share a hoover success story and how they were able to thwart it!

There is a trend where people automatically jump to the conclusion that someone is toxic or a narcissist if they don’t agree with them. Just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean they are toxic. Sure it can mean that and depending on attitudes, behavior, etc it can be an indicator. But people can jump to this conclusion. The first part of the show starts with this topic and ends with a couple of callers.

In today's show we talk about recognizing the successes that you have made. We also have two callers one is a return caller who updates on how things are going with her son being with their dad during coronavirus and another where a man is fighting for custody and time with his son.

This is the first show of a new daily series where you can start your morning off right and help you heal and grow from toxic relationships. In this episode we have three callers talking about their struggles with their relationships and a final caller who shares the success they've had in their own recovery!
