Have you ever felt a wave of guilt the moment you finally laughed, smiled, or felt a spark of joy after abuse? You’re not alone. For many survivors, healing can feel like betrayal — especially when your kids, family, or others are still struggling.

In this raw and honest episode, Allison K. Dagney, survivor, author, and subconscious reprogramming expert, breaks down why joy can feel unsafe and how subconscious beliefs keep you stuck in guilt. You’ll hear the hidden thoughts that survivors carry, like:

• “If my kids are hurting, I’m not allowed to be happy.”
• “If I move on, people will think it wasn’t abuse.”
• “If I heal, I’ll be leaving others behind.”

Through powerful examples and real-life scenarios, you’ll learn how guilt shows up in everyday life — from canceling fun plans, to sabotaging new relationships, to downplaying your progress so no one thinks you’ve forgotten what happened.

This episode will help you see why your healing is not abandonment — it’s the most powerful gift you can give yourself and your loved ones.
