Betrayal is one of the most painful of human experiences. Left unhealed, it can impact our teenâs health, schoolwork, and relationships. As parents navigating the teen years, itâs important to know how these wounds form and how to help our teens navigate through the healing process.
On todayâs podcast, weâll dive into the 3 discoveries that shed light on betrayal, along with providing a research-based, proven, and predictable way to heal from all of it.
Dr. Debi Silber, Founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day (celebrated annually on September 1st), is an award winning speaker, and a 2-time #1 International bestselling author. Her podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough is also globally ranked within the top 1.5% of podcasts. Her recent PhD study on how we experience betrayal made 3 groundbreaking discoveries that change how long it takes to heal. In addition to being on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice), and more, sheâs dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from the health, work, relationships, confidence, and happiness they want most.
Tell us about betrayal: Why does it hurt, what does it impact, and what does it create? The breaking of an unspoken promise. What were the 3 discoveries you made during your study? Post-betrayal symptoms will follow you throughout your life unless you heal it. How does an unhealed betrayal impact our health, work, and relationships? What are the questions we can ask ourselves to see if weâre numbing/avoiding/distracting ourselves? How do we know if we havenât healed from a betrayal? What do we need to do to move forward and heal from a betrayal experience? How can we learn to trust again?Sponsored by EdGerety.com

Do you ever feel like youâre speaking a different language when youâre trying to connect with your teen? Youâre not alone. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating science behind the teenage brain.
My guest today is Natalie Bedard, also known as NatNat, a beacon of resilience and empowerment. In 2019, she founded Lift OneSelf, offering profound energy healing services. Despite grappling with life-threatening illness and single parenthood to three boys, Natalie is a steadfast mentor on the journey of self-discovery and healing. With her profound understanding of the nervous system, she specializes in unraveling emotional blockages and reigniting intuitive connections. Natalie's trauma-competent approach is truly transformative. She guides individuals to embrace their fullest potential through small, actionable steps toward growth and transformation. It's about empowering people to navigate their healing journey with compassion, resilience, and a deep understanding of their unique experiences. Safety and radical honesty are the keys to unlocking the mystery.
As a solo parent of three boys, including twins with severe ADHD, Natalie navigated the challenges of the education system and personal adversity. She shares her story of using meditation to heal after a near-death experience and guide a live session to demonstrate how breathwork can facilitate emotional shifts. Whether you're a parent or educator, this episode offers practical tools and insights for connecting with teens.
Being a parent is about understanding yourself. How to be willing to experience pain as our teens mature through their learning experiences. Let curiosity take the lead allowing the space to see what is going to happen next, rather than being reactive. Develop trust with your teen by taking an active role in listening to their experience. Being a teen is the time when they begin to make their own decisions, they are going to make mistakes. Keep an open dialogue to talk about risks and how they can manage them. We are feeling bodies that think. Itâs important as parents that we process our own feelings. Two-minute mindfulness breath mediation example as a way to balance yourself. Natalie shares an abundance of knowledge in energy healing and what that has to do with being supportive parents. Looking at the shadows. Change can only come from within. Ed and Natalie talks about a listenerâs question on what to do when your teen shuts down.Sponsored by EdGerety.com

Each child is so different and the way we communicate with them needs to be too. How we open up the dialogue with them to communicate can be done in a variety of ways. Keeping family values in the forefront is essential in building a foundation for communication. Asking open-ended questions, then listening to what they share, can help you know how to support them. Are you giving advice, coaching them, or just listening? Every childâs stage of development is at their own pace. There is no âfinding balanceâ as a parent, itâs about going with the ebb and flow of activity, seasons, sports, interests, and hobbies of each child. How to recalibrate when your teen gets too involved. Thereâs no one way to parent, weâll make mistakes, weâll learn. It takes a village. Itâs important to apologize to your teen if youâve not been at your best. Help them leverage with what theyâre great at! There is so much we can learn from our teenâs.Sponsored by EdGerety.com

When teenagers are giving their parents an attitude, how should they deal with that? Parents shouldnât take an attitude from their teens personally. Be Patient. Never change your expectations of your teen, however you may need to change your timeline. Parents can practice giving themselves a time-out so they donât say something they wish they could take back. What do you do if a kid gets in trouble, for example- smoking in the bathroom at school? What do you do when you learn that your son/daughter is having sex, do you confront them? âIn the dark conversationsâ can be very effective when having challenging conversations as facial expressions can alter the outcome. Jon talks about a teenâs brain and what motivates them at different stages, and how to prepare and recognize these shifts.Sponsored by EdGerety.com

The teenage years contain some of our best times that teens will want to preserve, but also, sometimes tragedy strikes and teens may be in a position to want to save items from a loved one who has left this life too soon.
Save pictures in non-proprietary format such as jpegs and word documents in pdf. Relying on the cloud for storage can be risky as the data lives on their service. Itâs best to back up everything using 3-2-1: two local options (computer & flash drive) and one off-site service (cloud). What do to with all the photos on your phone: Keep photos and documents that have enduring stories. Itâs a great practice to go through your saved photos on a regular basis and delete what is not necessary to save. The digital world is unstable, so printing photos is still a great idea. Social media, email, and text messages can also be savedSponsored by EdGerety.com

A former middle school English teacher and parent of two, Emily Cherkin, MEd., The Screentime Consultant, witnessed the simultaneous rise of technology use for school, and smartphone and social media use for kids. Today, Emily consults with parents, offers school presentations and professional development training, and writes about parenting and screentime to bring her tech-intentional approach to as many people as possible. Emilyâs work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, The Today Show (twice), the BBC, Good Morning America, and more. Chuck Norris has quoted her. Emily is also a co-founder of The Student Data Privacy Project, an activism group dedicated to pushing back on excessive EdTech and screens in schools. Emily's book "The Screentime Solution: A Judgment-Free Guide to Becoming a Tech-Intentional Family" is an Amazon bestseller and available everywhere books are sold.
What does it mean to be âtech-intentionalâ? Why donât you recommend parental controls, and what do you recommend instead? Would you give your 11 yr. old keys to the car? To get a drivers license, itâs a process of learning, it doesnât happen right away. It should be the same way in teaching your kids about safe and respectful social media engagement. Be careful about your teenâs use of apps and games. They are focused on hooking the watcher and keeping their attention, and on selling. Teens can feel judged about what theyâre engaging in; be curious instead of judgmental when asking teenâs about what theyâre plugged into. Be aware as parents of how predators seek out victims on social media and have these conversations with your teens. Parents often buy a phone for their teen to keep them safe, and yet itâs opens the teen up to other dangers like bullying, mental health concerns, predators, etc. At the end of the day, we want our kids to be safe and we want to protect them. Ask yourself: Do I know what my child is doing online? Do I have a good relationship with my child so we can keep the line of communication open?Sponsored by EdGerety.com

Parents should start the conversation about social media when theyâre children are young to create an open dialogue about use and safe practices, and not wait until they are in the height of their teenage years. Kids use social media to connect and if theyâre growing friendships based on someoneâs social media ranking, itâs a red flag. Because social media is an instant gratification when people like or give a thumbs up, kids can begin to crave more or more. Teens can find themselves trusting someone they donât know while believing that itâs a real person who genuinely wants to get to know them. There are multi-billion dollar conglomerates across the world that make a living off of this. They create a false profile and send out a wide net to fish for responses. Kids can fall into being comfortable with these new connections and end up sharing personal photos and information. That can be used against them in an extortion-type method to get $ with the false promise that they wonât share the information. As parents we can let our teens know that we are here for them no matter what comes up. Keeping the door open on dialogue with your teen about social media will help keep them informed about possible dangers. Knowledge is powerful. Parents need to work WITH their children on this issue, not AGAINST them. S.M.A.R.T. acronym: be the parent who is aware of whatâs going on.Sponsored by EdGerety.com

Childhood trauma can be impacted by the imprint of what happened to our ancestors. Children inherit the unresolved trauma that happened to their ancestors. Children can manifest a reoccurring pattern of behavior and not understand why, and they may be unable to break the cycle, even though they have family love and support. The trauma our ancestors were unable to heal can be passed down and cause generational behavior issues. The child can pick up the unresolved pain of their ancestors and act it out and recreate it. The trauma pattern begins to heal when parents honor the experiences their ancestors had and raise their children without resistance to that trauma. Family constellation work is based in love and as we open up to the trauma our ancestors faced, we can do it with love and respect for their experience knowing that they did their best. Jack shares his own powerful experience of family generational trauma and how love healed the past. Jack shares ways to begin to discover family history to uncover and heal from generational trauma.Sponsored by EdGerety.com

Key Takeaways
In family conversations, the focus and excitement is generally on what the children and grandchildren are up to. Questions about what it was like for parents and grandparents when they were growing up is uncommon. Itâs hard for young people to picture their parents and grandparents as kids and ask what their life was like at that time. Elizabeth shares her own personal story about interviewing her mom about the family, and then realizing after her mom had passed, that there was so much she didnât know about her mom and wished she had the foresight to have had those conversations. How is focusing on the stories of our elders important in raising our teens? What lessons do they learn? Teens feel a sense of belonging as family stories are shared and they feel a deeper connection and conversation with their older family members. Often teenagers ask themselves why they do what they do, and in interviewing older family members, they often find a correlation to their family history and way of being. What challenges did older family members have with their parents and the hardships they faced that may have been passed down through the generations This offers a greater understanding for teens to know why their parents/grandparents respond/behave the way they do in certain situations. Teens can learn to become more open and compassionate as they learn about the difficult stories in their family history.Sponsored by EdGerety.com
