Dave Ramsey on Overcoming Trauma and Facing Challenges

[@Openingtheshadow]

I’ve been struggling so much mentally from old traumas from childhood and I know now that I’m an adult I am 100% responsible for healing now, we all are! If only we could just rip out the invisible weight inside of our souls. It’s not that easy, it’s work. Hard work.

[@saraareed5477]

Speaking from experience and not even through it all yet, the work is soooooo worth it.

[@cindypatrick785]

I agree with what you’re saying.i know that sometime in my childhood something happened to me that permanently damaged my “ core personality.” It has made my marriage of 45 yrs very difficult for us both. I did some counseling in my 30’s and dealt with anorexia, compulsive obsessive disorder , perfectionism and was diagnosed as manic-depressive back then. But by the time I finished those 8 months I had to take a break ….. Life happened and I became a caregiver of children, disabled husband at age 62, that led to many surgeries, recoveries and rehabs, free daycare for my 2 wonderful grandsons and for the last 7 yrs, I had the honor of being my daddy’s full time caregiver on his journey of Alzheimer’s. No sooner did that caregiving role end and I thought I might have time for myself, then my husbands congestive heart failure has gotten worse and I am now his taxi driver to many more drs and physical therapy. So once again my life is on hold…… 8:25

So glad Dave sat down for this full length interview to go into the vaults of the internet records forever

[@kbere4142]

I love Dave’s heart for people. He truly wants us to succeed.

[@janae09]

Loved this conversation with Dave. Would love to see more interviews like this. Congratulations on your 100th episode!

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Seeing this side of Dave helps me understand John being on this team more. Because honestly I was surprised when listening to him being on the Ramsey squad because he felt different from their usual. But seeing the softer side of Dave helps me grasp it better and John’s show has been great.

Dave Delony has been a huge help in my life. Its been rough but he helped me digest it and become a better person.

[@monstaq95]

Man this is REAL REAL talk man. I love the honesty and Dave being even more open then he already is.

[@bobbileehall3567]

Dave is the epitome of making an impact before you die...and how applying biblical principles & God’s word in to your life WORKs!!!......the renewing of your mind....transforms your behavior....I am living proof! So, follow Dave’s lead folks....don’t be STUPID! Dave & Deloney are great together! in my opinion. 😍

[@stephaniem2743]

This was great! I've heard Dave tell his story before, but this time I really felt it. It had me tearing up. I think Dr. John has a gift for opening people up. I love how Dave has learned some new language and concepts too. Love these two together!

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

Trauma therapists talk about "Big T traumas" and Little t traumas". Be aware that you need skilled people for the big ones. The average therapist is going to be out of their depth. The worst ones think they are capable, and see things like dissociation, but harm you with their inability to see what you are going through. Search for skill. You may have to pay directly for that level of care. Worth it.

[@MiguelAngel-oh1ub]

Been listening to Ramsey so a while now, and am really glad I started listening to Dr. D. Fascinating how people of all walks of life’s go through similar mental and emotional situations and feel a little more at ease knowing I ain’t the only one.

[@superdude4046]

So happy to see you growing your KZbin following, John. I always enjoy listening to your wisdom, and hearing how much you help people thru some of their toughest time. Keep on with the good work! And don’t let anyone discourage you from your dad jokes! :)

[@bethanyboothe4817]

This was so so good! As Dave approaches retirement, this is would be an amazing role to see him in more...dishing out tons of life advice to the younger generation. It’s obvious his wisdom is not limited to finances. Great show and questions, Dr. D.

[@thehowtostudios1980]

dave says hes not gonna retire

[@mariee.5912]

@@thehowtostudios1980 I hope not, he looks like my dad, including attitude. So, I like watching him.

[@aaronhyde]

This is great! I've realized that we really don't know much about Dave. He is such an interesting person, and has so much that I can learn from.

[@flashthecorgi2053]

Congratulations on your 100th episode! You have made such a wonderful impact in my life. Love what you’re putting out there Delony! You handle all calls with so much grace, optimism, and honesty. Keep doing what you’re doing Dr. D your amazing! 🎉❤️

[@Christine-777]

Whew, this is excellent!! I continually paused and texted my husband typed out sound bites. I know he'll want to watch this with me in its entirety this evening. Thank you, sirs! Much appreciation to you both from Texas!

[@murraybeachtel8585]

Great conversation guys. The stuff about recognizing pain, but moving forward and not letting it be your identity was powerful.

[@britneyog9537]

And, this is why you listen to Dave. He has LIVED it. He wants to warn you. Listen.

[@britneyog9537]

You are real. Not polished. Wise. Love the show!

[@capmap620]

Thank you for bringing Dave on! This inspired me so much! I am working to heal my behaviors, heartbreak, and trauma and this gives me hope!

[@aimercab8630]

Bravo!!! So good to see Dave in this vulnerable, open, 'Here I am' state! More of this please! 🙌

[@whn3344]

I’m glad I saw this because I’ve had this idea that Dave is a narcissist and I never liked him. But I never knew what he has done for people in teaching them how to be successful. I’m glad to see that he’s able to admit fault (something narcs cannot do), take accountability for it (also something they cannot do) and speak truthfully (narcs are liars) about his experience. Not a narc. Maybe arrogant sometimes, but not a narcissist. I appreciate hearing his story.

[@TheeRoyalAfro]

Wowwwww thank you for sharing this! It was such a privilege to be “in the room” with these topics with Dave. Thanks John 🙏🏾

[@GwenMotoGirl]

Awesome! Please keep saying it! Edited to add that this conversation is so important. Please, more of this.

[@zionpadfield]

I deal with family narcissist family members and very strict Pentecostal and dysfunctional and narcissist abuse spiritual abuse and emotional abuse and trauma and nothing you do is good enough for them and my family got their own church and it’s toxic you can’t be yourself it’s a cult and you got too go by their rules and if you disobey them they reject you and shun you it’s heartbreaking 💔

[@JoeTheDIY]

Congratulations sir.

[@giovannicortez4448]

Heck yes, you got Dave on!!

[@ScaddleCoffee]

Daves advice always makes me feel like that makes so much sense, why didn't I know that? Lol

[@amberyoung7726]

I've learned that when I've gotten frustrated with my daughters at their behavior or something they went through, at times it triggers something in me that had me overreact... then suddenly or eventually, I can look back and realize it was my fear that induced the reaction or response that was sent out harshly but was my heart cry.. fear that they will experience the same pain. What many parents wish their kids could do is bypass mistakes and pain. Right? So, maybe, when Dave gets "harsh" with callers and it feels awkward for the caller and even listener, perhaps it's because he has been through the muck so badly that his present wise but also present inner-younger self is truly crying out for others to "wake up" as he likes to say, but actually, he really means it. For callers to not have to go through the ache that he went through. I see you, Dave. *edit bc at the end when Dave praises John for what he is contributing to this show 👏🏆

“...isolation, arrogance, and secret lives off to the side; and think that nobody sees this stuff; well, God sees it. And you’re not getting away with it.” My mom said that is what happened to Ravi Zacharias. Dave’s solution: deep relationship with people who will call u out.

[@cdw3423]

Dr. John, Baker Street does have lyrics. The saxophone parts are incredible, your imitation of it, not so much ;)

[@anechkagee5372]

[@pattyajones]

Dave, I am moved by your humility. But "We don't spend over $500 without talking to the other one" made me CHOKE. Dude better let me know LONG BEFORE $500.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

There’s levels to things. If you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars $500 doesn’t change his world whatsoever. For example, $500 is .000005% of his worth if he’s worth $100M. To put that in normal people perspective if you make $100K a year that $500 is the equivalent of spending 50 cents. So it sounds insane to normal people but in perspective their boundaries would be a normal household checking in with each other about spending 50 cents. So it’s actually kinda wild that this is their rule because in their world that’s inconsequential but that’s the respect they have for it.

[@iamhiptwo7016]
