Overcoming Loneliness and Trauma

[@briannecaswell6204]

You can hear the pain in her voice. WHY are people OKAY with destroying other people. Especially the people THEY CHOOSE to "love"

[@racheltarentino3314]

Too many people with a lack of empathy

[@MarinaM-o6p]

If they will truly love the other person they will NEVER HURT THEM IN ANY SHAPE ….BUT WE ARE HERE ON 🌍 WHERE PEOPLE ARE KILLING OTHER PEOPLE …

[@catastrofakilluminati4884]

When you give in to sinful nature. 1000s of micro transgressions will turn you into a depraved sick person.

[@juicysmith38235]

To the 1st caller - if your kids are thriving without their father & are not crying for their dad then thank God & move forward. Children are smart, no child is ok with their mother being treated poorly by their father. Take those babies and stay away from him. He needs help & therapy. When his rebound doesn't workout & the dust settles when he's all alone, he will be back! Close that door, he abandoned his wife and children, their is no excuse. Yall deserve better, God bless 🙏🙏🙏

Dr. John is the bomb. I recently emerged from a horrendous, 7-year reign of despair which included more losses than I will utter out loud ever again. Less than two years ago, I came within a paper thin distance of taking my own life. I wish I had this guy to call when I was going through all of that. Granted, I had God with me every step of the way, but sometimes we need that close, personal, one-to-one compassion we find in others, and John Delony exudes that in every single call he takes. Now that I am gratefully blessed to be on the healing mend, I can see the light again. I can listen to the callers and empathize with their pain like I never could before, and I love how he comes through with solutions. Very few calls I can listen to without developing a lump in my throat at some point. He's a rock star therapist. I just pray when his notoriety hits an even higher stratosphere, and it will, that he remains grounded and reachable to the people that need him. God bless you John.

[@noble604]

I am SO glad you didn’t take your own life. SO glad. Your life is so precious and I am extremely happy to have met you. Blessings to you.

[@7somekindofsomething]

Glad you made it through and respect for making it through. I had a similar situation for a couple of years there. Finding God got me through it no doubt.

Can you give a bit of insight on what you did to get better? I feel like everything has become pointless, even life itself.

[@kathiehill165]

John is a very wise man.

[@Airestotle09]

Just wanna say of all the assistants Dave Ramsey has had on his show, your easily the best. Very smart and funny with no ounce of snobbishness at all. Your easily relatable because you have a great sense of humor. We need more people like you man Love your stuff man the world is a better place because of it!

[@justinfay3011]

[@aurorealis3249]

John's authenticity is powerful along with his ability to state the obvious. Thanks to his wisdom and redirection into renewal and healing. He is a God send of positive possibilities and thoughtful discourse.

[@ViridiansDragons]

Go to therapy! I am 47 and started 10 weeks ago. My 'story' is awful too. It helps to have someone to talk to. It can't get much worse talk- and it might feel better.

[@KierstynStJohn]

Completely agree with this. I’d add that for me, EMDR has been amazing too!!

[@JohnBrown-ig5nc]

​@@KierstynStJohnwhat's EMDR?

[@jdc7050]

Truly John has a gift, yes he is educated but he is gifted with discernment, compassion, and wisdom. He has blessed my life greatly!

[@TrangNguyen-se2gw]

Jeremy, I hope so much that you see this. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel as though I’m in the exact same position you are. Completely and utterly alone in mind and spirit. Feeling like I’m in an echo chamber and am sick of hearing my own inner voice. I have no idea what I’m gonna do but have been thinking about Hail Marys. Dr. John said to act your way into becoming someone you’re proud of. I can honestly say I feel like I’m acting my ass off right now. It’s still tough, and I still have moments of sheer panic. But I’ll keep going if you do. Thanks again for your call.

[@conniecepaitis8257]

Dr John, you give some of the best life advice that i have ever heard, thank you! I am finally free after 2 very dysfunctional marriages...i was trauma bonded for so long...but i found an outstanding therapist, have worked hard in therapy, no longer trauma bonded. I want to finish my life strong, making healthy choices, discovering who i am & living my best life. Also setting a good example for my grown son, being courageous & making healthy choices.

[@DedeMattix]

Well stated. I am in the same place. Rock on, Sister !❤

[@kornycob5391]

Please keep including the recaps of each call in the description, if possible, they are much appreciated

[@eetoved1758]

YES!!! I've become dependent on them. So helpful.

[@ToriWeber-gj8gn]

Every time you talk, it brings home so many thoughts that I have need validated for so long. Feels good to know I am not alone! Thank you so much! 😊

[@styler-ji5pr]

Just got out of the same relationship. Go no contact even if you do share custody. Best thing I ever did.

[@gricel8402]

I relate so much for Jeremy. I am in the same boat. I wish you well, Jeremy. I am working on working on myself too and hopefully find my happiness one day.

I'm from northern New Mexico. I know how difficult it can be to live here. But I love this state. I wish the Bridget, the first caller all the best in the world. It's hard to start over. I'm a widow in therapy. I'll pray for you.

[@BernitaFord]

I couldn't stop crying after hearing John describe his love for his children at 8:00. Well said and heartfelt.

[@MarinaM-o6p]

Trauma NEVER GOES AWAY UNLESS PEOPLE TALK WITH SOMEONE THAT THEY TRUST ….IT MAKES IT EASIER TO BARE THE CROSS ….

I am glad you said people you trust instead of therapist/professional :)

[@TerriBennett-nf4vb]

so many of these conflicts Dr John has been through so , so personal experience and education

[@normav2226]

This just happened to me this past March. Almost exactly. I have a son. He's just going to have to wait for the divorce. I have more important things to pay. Like her, he wants me to file and pay. He blocked me from his cell number. I don't even know where he lives. He calls me via private number. I stopped answering. So disrespectful of him. I want a divorce but it's too expensive right now.

[@melissam6037]

I hope you can find help. Depending on the state, the worst case is he could run up debt which you would be liable for half of.

[@junebyrne4491]

Don’t let it go. If he runs up debt it can be horrible. If you have children see child welfare. If not find charities.

[@blueseptember2174]

​@@junebyrne4491Free trader agreement !!! Like yesterday. Only a hundred bucks or something like it. Protects her name from the date of that document from sharing any of his new debt.

[@9liveslisa]

I spend a lot of time alone and do you know the reason I am happy??? Because I think of all the emotional bullets I am missing!!

Emotional bullets lol but so true sometimes 👍

[@TheEquiss]

Mine decided after 30 years of marriage that he no longer wanted to work. He refused to help with debts he had caused. Then he started mass cheating. I dumped him a slide is better now. I make half what I used to make but I seem to have so much more. I’ll never date or have anyone else in my life again. Not worth it.

[@DianeHanna-t6p]

Thank goodness my children were 15 and 22. But my daughter was pressured to see my husbands girlfriend and when she didn't as she just wasn't ready but would have come round he just didn't see her. For 5 years, he barely saw his children, and when they finished, he had to try to see them again. God Bless them they did with my encouragement, but they don't feel the same about him. He lost a lot of their love and respect. And they are such good children. Who now have their own children. I hated him for that. And her who fussed and pouted because they wouldn't do what she wanted.. To me my children will always come first.

[@lauriesstory5894]

Im dealing with this issue with my son’s father. No custody arrangement but he abandoned us and moved to California for 5 years of my 7yr old’s life. He recently came back and is demanding he sees our son but doesn’t assist in any way and my son does not like him one bit after spending time with him.

[@tinam761]

Protect your child … see an attorney.

[@juicysmith38235]

Child support does not disappear, the judge can order he pay back child support for all those yrs!! . Try researching your state's child support websites or call them for help!

[@indigoblue77]

She's suffering but also comfortable with her victim role. Thru the sympathy she receives as a poor mistreated woman, she gets the validation she desperately needs. But doesn't realize how toxic that is. It's the wrong validation. The guy never respected her one bit. Not a glimpse and it is very clear. Her story didn't happen overnight-so why is she telling it as "oh this is happening to me, what should i do? I'm a people pleaser" - no you're not. You-have lost sight of who you are and chose to lick your wounds. The guy doesn't give a flying crap about her. She is nothing to him and acts accordingly. Her ongoing suffering and victmhood only dignifies what he thinks and feels about her. Woman pull yourself together! You deserve it!! And your kids diserve it as well!

[@pizzo7034]

All said and done kids need their dad,for good or for bad!! He may be a bad husband but a good dad

[@k.l.massie8702]

No one needs a bad dad. A man who quits his job to play video games at home and expects his wife to support him is a bad dad.

[@motheryuba57]

He has to hit bottom first and begin, all on his own, to want to make an effort to improve himself. The first callers husband was obviously a bad father. She should go no contact with the guy for herself and no contact for her children and as she heals she will find better examples of healthy masculine energy for her children. Yes, children need a father. But some fathers are so unhealthy it would be more traumatizing to have contact especially if he is going through other women and not even having the ability to show up for the custody piece in court. That says everything. Sever contact with him. He is too toxic.

[@blueStarKitt7924]

[@maryamory1549]

I was married to an angry child as well. I came home one day to him making our teenagers sit in the front room to witness him throw me out of our home after twenty years of marriage ( on my end, he barely showed up for most of it. ) He put on a big performance” it’s over! You need to move out! No one can stand you!” Then he didn’t lift a finger to find for divorce. I had to stay there for a year after that. A few days later he actually said “ you know I’ll always take care of you Mary.” It was insane. Bridget you are FREE. Your kids have a healthy parent who is there for them.

It's interesting how that ad hit. It was basically BetterHelp saying "we have no intention of speaking truth to you" and that's definitely not something I'm interested in from a therapist.
