    160 - Betrayal Bonds, Enmeshment and Sex Addiction w/ Dr. Lara Dye

    160 - Betrayal Bonds, Enmeshment and Sex Addiction w/ Dr. Lara Dye

    Dr. Lara Dye is a psychologist who specializes on treating childhood relational trauma that ultimately results in substance, love and sex addictions. Her treatment approach is focused on understanding how particular childhood traumas cause humans to grow destructive defense mechanisms. Those defenses, while originally a solution to the pain of the childhood situation, ultimately decrease healthy adult relationships.
    Dr. Dye has extensive post-graduate training in love and sex addiction from the Meadows in Arizona (Pia Mellody) and is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT).

    159 - Allowing Our Feelings & Parenting w/ Janet Lansbury

    Janet Lansbury has helped hundreds of thousands of parents as an educator, best-selling author and podcast host. Her passion for parenting began when motherhood turned out not to be the fulfilling and magical experience she had anticipated. Riddled with anxiety, fear and shame - Janet sought guidance from infant expert Magda Gerber.
    We discuss the challenges of parenting with trauma, the importance of just letting our children, and the challenges of acknowledging the dysfunction of our childhoods when your parents were “mostly good.”
