57. "How to Recognize Gaslighting: Signs, Scripture Twisting, and Support (w/ Laurel Slade-Waggoner)” 41:55

39 weeks yang lalu41:55

41:55

In this episode, Dr. David Hawkins sits down with counselor and author Laurel Slade-Waggoner to unpack gaslighting in everyday relationships —not only in marriage, but also in families, churches, friendships, and workplaces . Laurel shares her story, defines the “crazy cycle” (love bombing → manipulation → blow-ups → apologies → repeat), and explains why many survivors become trauma-bonded to the cycle. You’ll learn how to spot future faking , the crucial difference between mere regret and authentic repentance , and why consistency and accountability—not box-checking—signal real change. Laurel and Dr. Hawkins outline faith-safe boundary strategies (internal and external), how to exit escalating conflicts without fueling them, and practical first steps for those who feel stuck, foggy, or frozen . They also address spiritual abuse and unhelpful “stay and pray” advice, offering language to seek support wisely and rebuild a healthy inner circle . If you’re navigating narcissistic traits in a spouse, co-parent, or family member—and wondering what’s changeable and what isn’t—this conversation brings clarity, compassion, and a structured path forward .

In this episode of the Mad.In.Love podcast, Dr. David Hawkins is joined by Lucas Forstmeyer, a renowned practitioner and course creator specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, they explore the complex dynamics of narcissism, emotional abuse, and how specific patterns of behavior impact relationships. Lucas and Dr. Hawkins dive into the nuances of the term "narcissism," discussing when it's helpful to label behaviors and when it might be more effective to focus on specific patterns instead. They explore the concept of "Protective Parts" within IFS, which are often responsible for seemingly negative behaviors as a means of shielding vulnerabilities or exiled parts of ourselves. Lucas emphasizes the importance of approaching these protective mechanisms with compassion while maintaining healthy boundaries. The episode further unpacks the distinctions between the "Self," individual parts, and the "Healthy Adult"—a state that combines the Self with developed skills and mature aspects of one's personality. Lucas and Dr. Hawkins share practical examples and strategies on how this understanding can lead to better emotional regulation and healthier relationship dynamics. Lastly, they address the role of inherent temperament, such as being naturally agreeable or disagreeable, and how these temperamental differences influence our perceptions of behaviors often associated with narcissism. Lucas offers insights on balancing respect for inherent traits while addressing problematic behavior patterns. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how IFS can be used to navigate complex relationship challenges, and learn strategies for fostering compassion towards yourself and others.

Welcome to Mad.In.Love! Today we will be discussing what narcissists misunderstand about love and joining me for this conversation is Dr. Les Carter, a therapist who specializes in anger management and narcissistic personality disorder, and host of the Surviving Narcissism podcast. Join us as we dive into the topic of narcissists and love – is it even possible for these two things to coincide? If you were to ask a narcissist if they love their spouse, partner, child, parent, etc. they would answer “yes, of course!” but is their idea of love really love, or is it their own twisted idea of love? A narcissist’s idea of love revolves around being thought of highly, anything that makes them feel good, and having agreement and conformity. None of these things have anything to do with real love. We’ll talk about the 5 levels of relationship and what healthy love looks like.

I’m hosting this episode of the Mad.In.Love podcast to help shed light on a form of abuse that is not as commonly talked about as physical or emotional abuse. Financial abuse can often be triggered by fear - fear brought on by early childhood trauma, for instance, if the abuser grew up in a financially unstable situation, experiencing homelessness or other life stressors stemming from money or lack thereof. I’m joined today by Lee Kaufman, a skilled life and relationship coach who has been helping people help themselves for 20 years, including over 4,000 hours with the Marriage Recovery Center. Early in his career, he spent over a decade in the financial and legal industries. This has given him unique insight on how business, finances, and family are inextricably connected. If one of these systems break down, the others will shortly follow. Lee’s work is based on three main principles: Connection, Intellectual Understanding, and Emotional Understanding. In this episode we will talk about several examples of financial abuse (most often, but not always) perpetrated by men against their wives. You may not even realize that you are in a financially abusive relationship, until you hear about some of the specific scenarios we discuss. Lee tells us about identifying what level of abuse is happening, how to address it therapeutically, and the paths available to de-escalating the abuse, or even extricating yourself from the abusive situation. The Mad.In.Love Podcast is brought to you by the Marriage Recovery Center in Seattle, and hosted by Dr. David Hawkins, MBA, MSW, MA, PhD. Dr. Hawkins is a renowned clinical psychologist who has brought healing and restoration to thousands of marriages and individuals since he began his work in 1976. He is passionate about helping couples heal marriage wounds and rediscover deeper connection and intimacy. Dr. Hawkins is a speaker & trainer for the American Association of Christian Counselors and writes for Crosswalk.com, CBN.org, and Believe.com.

Is a chauvinist a narcissist and vice versa? Is a narcissist a chauvinist and a misogynist? There are blurred lines between all these personality disorders and character issues. Join me as I talk with Dr. John Hudson, head of the core men’s program at the Marriage Recovery Center, about these and other characterological traits that all have emotional abuse at their core. Dr. Hudson brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the Marriage Recovery Center, having been involved in counseling professions, teaching, and ministries for over 35 years. Dr. Hudson enjoys working with individuals and couples who recognize the value of counseling and how it can facilitate better living, relationships, and personal spiritual growth.

Episode 5: Twisted Out of Shape: What is Reactive Abuse? 53:16

Are you living in a relationship where rage or silence cause you to return that behavior toward the person treating you that way? Have you been pushed so far, so many times, that you explode with anger toward the person pushing you? This is what we call reactive abuse. And its effects can transform you into someone you don’t recognize-someone you don’t want to be. In this episode, I’m speaking about reactive abuse with Dr. Lenne’ Hunt, my colleague at the MRC. Dr. Hunt has spent most of her adult life helping others navigate life’s challenges. She holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and an M.S. in counseling. Lenne’ practiced as a licensed therapist for many years while also raising a generation of therapists through her role as an Associate Professor of Psychology. More recently, Lenne’ decided to take another “helping” path, laying down her therapeutic license in favor of life coaching and pastoral counseling. Dr. Hunt coaches from a perspective of an intimate relationship with the Holy Trinity and so believes that no person and no relationship is ever too far gone to be beyond hope. Dr. Hunt is the author of three books: The Fatherhood of God and the Sonship of Man, Prisoners of Hope, and One True Thing and has a teaching/discipleship ministry called Deep Unto Deep Ministries.

Episode 9: The Invisible Woman 50:37

Today I'm joined by Sharmen Kimbrough and Dr. Lenne' Hunt as we discuss why this idea of becoming invisible so aptly describes how victims of emotional abuse feel. We discuss what it means to be invisible in a relationship, the result of what happens when you are not heard, not given room to think or speak for yourself, and are constantly shut down with criticism and made to question you own true thoughts and feelings. For those in a narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationship, being invisible becomes a form of self-protection, a case of "go along to get along."

Dr. Hawkins is joined by fellow MRC therapist Jonathan Glover, in the first of a new series where they will read posts found on platforms like Reddit and Quora, and get Dr. Hawkins' thoughts on matters pertaining to dysfunctional relationships, poor boundaries, emotional abuse and narcissism. Today’s post is from a man whose ex (a woman) was constantly provoking, taunting, threatening, belittling, and laughing at his insecurities and pain points, along with switching her affection from hot to cold without warning. Jonathan and Dr. Hawkins go through this very long post step by step and point out the things that are good, bad, and questionable about the situation. Jonathan Glover, LICSW, SUDPT at the Marriage Recovery Center, specializes in the treatment of trauma, particularly in the context of relationships. He has 15 years of counseling experience in community behavioral health and private practice.

Episode 7 - The Mend Project 50:48

Have you ever tried to confide in a trusted friend, family member, counselor or pastor about the abuse within your marriage, only to get a trite response that dismissed, trivialized and invalidated your story? Unfortunately, this is an all too common scenario that plays out for victims of emotional abuse and that's what we're discussing in this episode. Today we’re speaking with Annette Oltmans, Founder and CEO of The Mend Project. While seeking the help of professionals and responders, Annette experienced Double Abuse® in the form of spiritual and institutional abuse when her cries for help were ignored or brushed away, or, she herself was blamed for the situation. Annette’s personal experience of long-term emotional abuse in marriage and her extensive journey of recovery ignited her passion to found The M3ND Project in 2016. In working to prevent and remediate such harm, Annette developed protocol models that are now being taught and implemented by therapists, churches, and professional organizations across the United States. Join us for an eye-opening discussion around the responsibility of first responders, the damage that is done with “double abuse” or secondary abuse – when victims are not believed, and how The M3ND Project is training professionals how to recognize the red flags of covert emotional abuse.
