//Episode Title// Codependency //Episode Overview// In this episode, Dr. Dan delves into the complex topic of codependency, a condition often rooted in difficult early life experiences within dysfunctional or abusive families, which significantly impact mental development, leading to various emotional and relational issues. The Bible acknowledges the profound influence of these early experiences on our adult lives. Dr. Dan outlines the core symptoms of codependency: difficulty with self-esteem, boundary issues, difficulty owning one’s reality, problems addressing needs and wants, and dysfunctional emotional expression. These symptoms often stem from early childhood experiences, where abuse disrupts natural development. He discusses the developmental impact and origin of codependency, emphasizing emotional and psychological distortion, multi-generational transmission, and the role of shame and self-worth. Dr. Dan introduces a therapeutic model involving acknowledgment of the problem, understanding its origins, reparenting oneself, and developing functional adult behaviors, fostering authentic relationships and freedom from codependency. Concluding, Dr. Dan highlights that healing is not just about fixing what’s broken but about transforming through understanding, compassion, and connection, supported by a loving and gracious God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. //Links & Resources// --Guided by Grace Website: https://guidedbygrace.radio.am --Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6546874 --YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GuidedbyGraceWCVX --Twitter: @GuidedGraceWCVX //Sponsors// --Everglade Psychotherapy Group: https://everglade.group/ --Ignite Institute for Early Learning: https://igniteearly.org/ --Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church: https://www.madeirachurch.org/ --College Hill Presbyterian Church: https://chpc.org/ //Books// --Undefended: Discovering God when your guard is down: https://www.amazon.com/Undefended-Discovering-when-Your-Guard/dp/1577997468 --Live In Liberty; The Spiritual Message of Galatians: https://www.amazon.com/Live-Liberty-Spiritual-Message-Galatians/dp/1577996291 --Embracing God as Father: Christian identity in the Family of God : https://www.amazon.com/Embracing-God-Father-Christian-Identity/dp/1577996267 //Engage with Us// --What are your thoughts on today's episode? --How do you apply the concept of burnout solutions in your daily life?

//Episode Title// Gaslighting //Episode Overview// In this episode, Dr. Dan addresses gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation where an individual makes another doubt their reality, often through dismissive statements like "You're too sensitive" or "That never happened." Originating from the 1940s movie "Gaslight," the term describes a deliberate pattern of undermining someone's confidence and independence. While not all dismissive behaviors constitute gaslighting, it becomes evident through consistent manipulation causing self-doubt and confusion. Protecting oneself from gaslighting aligns with maintaining one's dignity as a child of God, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries. A case study of Mary illustrates the long-term effects of gaslighting, highlighting the need to reclaim one’s identity and confidence. From a biblical perspective, gaslighting contradicts the Christian identity of being loved and valued by God, advocating for self-protection and boundaries. Practical steps include recognizing gaslighting, standing firm in one’s truth, documenting interactions, taking breaks, simplifying conversations, setting boundaries, collecting evidence, speaking up, disengaging, and seeking support. In cases where gaslighting persists, leaving the relationship might be necessary, supported by biblical principles that allow for divorce in severe emotional and psychological neglect. Ultimately, protecting oneself from gaslighting is crucial for mental health and honoring one's identity in Christ, recognizing when to set final boundaries to maintain well-being. //Links & Resources// --Guided by Grace Website: https://guidedbygrace.radio.am --Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6546874 --YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GuidedbyGraceWCVX --Twitter: @GuidedGraceWCVX //Sponsors// --Everglade Psychotherapy Group: https://everglade.group/ --Ignite Institute for Early Learning: https://igniteearly.org/ --Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church: https://www.madeirachurch.org/ --College Hill Presbyterian Church: https://chpc.org/ //Books// --Undefended: Discovering God when your guard is down: https://www.amazon.com/Undefended-Discovering-when-Your-Guard/dp/1577997468 --Live In Liberty; The Spiritual Message of Galatians: https://www.amazon.com/Live-Liberty-Spiritual-Message-Galatians/dp/1577996291 --Embracing God as Father: Christian identity in the Family of God : https://www.amazon.com/Embracing-God-Father-Christian-Identity/dp/1577996267 //Engage with Us// --What are your thoughts on today's episode? --How do you apply the concept of burnout solutions in your daily life?
