Here we are, in the middle of all of the end of the year holidays. It’s this weird time that’s a juxtaposition of feeling all the nostalgia, and often romanticizing childhood, AND coming face to face with the jarring reality of the toxic patterns we see in our society, our religious systems, and in our family of origin.

Today, my guest and I are going to talk about the different responses people have when confronted with this experience, how we can choose the cycle-breaker option, and how we can stay on that obstacle-ridden path.

Welcome to Deconstructing Gaslighting®, the podcast. If this is the first time you’re listening to the pod, welcome! If you are looking to deepen your understanding of this thing we call GASLIGHTING and learn how to recognize the patterns so that you can break the patterns, I encourage you to check out my website. I am in the process of relaunching my programs, and in the interim, I’ve already lowered the cost of my programs significantly. You can now get my signature program for just $29.

My guest today is Sharon Rinearson of CORE Relationship Recovery.

Story Time: Sarah and Sharon discuss what generational patterns are, how trauma is connected to it, how we can increase our awareness around places we may be unknowingly living in these patterns, and what obstacles we may want to be aware of as we are trying to become pattern-breakers!

If you'd like to check out the work that Sharon and her husband, James, are doing, please visit their website, or email Gail to set up a free consultation.
