Got ADHD? Turn It Into Your Superpower!

Infidelity--being cheated on by a partner--is one of the relationship possibilities we fear the most but talk about the least. Yet the heartbreak and crushing pain of being betrayed can consume you emotionally, mentally, and even physically. And in my personal and professional experience, I've found that "moving on" after betrayal is far easier said than done. In fact, infidelity can trigger a trauma response that leaves the betrayed person in a chronic fight or flight mode that can last for years. From dealing with obsessive thoughts and bouts of anger to self-doubt and grief, the journey forward can be intensely challenging. So, today, we're joined by Lauren LaRusso, a top-notch psychotherapist and affair specialist who focuses on helping people reclaim their lives after betrayal. Topics discussed include betrayal, infidelity, sexual infidelity, emotional infidelity, financial betrayal, love, intimacy, vulnerability, anger, grief, sadness, resentment, broken dreams, grieving process, stages of grief, attachment, anxious attachment, children, divorce, separation, moving forward, selfishness, self-fulness, exercise, yoga, creativity, healing, trust, broken trust, and resilience. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services. In the US, 24/7 help is available by calling "911," "988" (Suicide and Crisis Hotline), or SAMSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Do you hide quirky parts of yourself for fear that others won't like or accept you? Are you afraid that others would reject you if you revealed your so-called "not normal" parts? I've found that many people sacrifice aspects of their authentic being in the quest to be accepted and fit in. Yet whether you are neurotypical or not, I've discovered that letting go of the myth of normality--and releasing the expectation that you need to be someone you're not to fit in--can help you release shame, find fulfilling community, and build the solid, meaningful friendships you deserve. So today, we're joined by Dr. Daniel Wendler, a leading psychologist, best-selling author, and TedX speaker who will guide you into the realm of self-acceptance and self-love.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
