20 min - Are You Confused? You Could be in a Trauma Bond
When a dating relationship swings between wonderful and painful, it can be hard to trust your own judgment. In this episode, we'll explore how cycles of harm and affection can create confusion, and what to do when you feel stuck in your decision to move forward or end the relationship.
This episode offers faith-centered ways to seek clarity: write down the relationship’s patterns, consider whether it brings peace and reflects patience and kindness, and bring your questions to prayer and Scripture. This episode focuses on dating relationships—not marriage—and encourages listeners to take a step back and discern what the relationship is producing.

13 min - Feel Like You're Walking On Eggshells? Here's Why His Words Are Cruel And Kind.
"Well.....he doesn't say those cruel things to me ALLLLLL the time."
Words are powerful. They can lift us up or bring us down. What we say to each other matters. Sometimes we remember exactly what someone said years later. Depending on what we agree with, it can derail us pretty quick.
So why does he go back and forth from giving you words of affirmation to words of cruelty? You may be asking yourself if you're in a narcissistic relationship or maybe you're just blowing this way out of proportion. But, you definitely feel devalued. This can be a very confusing and hurtful experience. In this episode, we'll take a deep dive into what is really happening and what the bible says as to how we should respond to it.
I hope this episode blesses you. God Bless and Stay Prayed Up!

21 min - Are You Dating Him Based on His Potential?
When we stay in unhealthy relationships based on someone's potential, this can lead us down a rough road. We think if we just love them harder and show up better, they will one day become the person we saw in the very beginning. But when we are being devalued, it can result in our hearts changing instead of theirs and not in a good way.
In this episode, we explore why this can be a dangerous trap and what we can do to move forward in freedom. We will take a look at what Jesus says about a person's actions and how to know exactly what they have in their hearts.
I pray this episode blesses you.
Stay Prayed Up!

About Healing after Surviving
From the publisher's feed
Do you keep landing yourself in toxic relationships? Do you wonder why you keep repeating this cycle? If so, you’re not alone.
After years of years of narcissistic abuse and landing in…
the same type of dating patterns, I finally learned how to heal by understanding that my identity is in Christ. When I began to really know Jesus, everything started to shift in my life. I started to notice things that I never noticed before. I was finally able to see myself as a child of God instead of holding onto so much shame. There is life after abuse. Jesus loves us more that we could ever imagine.
