The first show! The Relationship Help Show: Move from Pain to Power is here to help you recognize and remedy relationships within yourself, and with the people in your life...especially with the relentlessly difficult people Dr. Shaler calls Hijackals®.
In this episode, the conversation is about divorce. Yes, for some people, it comes to that: divorce. And, it's a very big decision, especially if you don't clearly see and understand the traits, patterns and cycles of the difficult, toxic people, the Hijackals.
You may think that all that is going on is your fault. That's very common when you're with a Hijackal, s/he will make sure you hear constantly that everything is your fault. When you realize that's not the truth, often, there has been too much pain, and too many destructive things that have happened in your relationship. You know you cannot go back, and divorce is what's required to move forward.
Divorce is not a thing you plan on, but it sure is something you need to plan FOR.
What do you need to recognize to decide whether to stay or leave?
How do you decide what is enough? When is enough? Whether the relationship can be fixed? Or, when it's time for a divorce, or, at least, a separation? Big questions that you cannot take lightly, especially if you have children. This decision affects much in your life and planning is important.

Recognize the Indelible Marks of Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACEs
So many people have had difficulties in their childhood, and resulting from their childhoods. Adverse Childhood Experiences, ACEs, is a thing. It's real. It's today topic.
You may not realize how much of an impact your early life has had on your every thought about yourself, others, relationships, rights, and expectations if you have had ACEs. Here's a definition from the Minnesota Department of Health:
"An adverse childhood experience (ACE) describes a traumatic experience in a person's life occurring before the age of 18 that the person remembers as an adult.
The nine ACEs are:
- physical abuse
- sexual abuse
- emotional abuse
- mental illness of a household member
- problematic drinking or alcoholism of a household member
- illegal street or prescription drug use by a household member
- divorce or separation of a parent
- domestic violence towards a parent
- incarceration of a household member"
Now, you can see that this is a too common occurrence and it may have impacted your life. Listen to today's program and learn more.
Guest, Christine Baumgartner of The Perfect Catch, and Dr. Rhoberta Shaler of For Relationship Help discuss the affects of ACEs on their own lives and lives they touch in their work. It could be what you've experienced, and you need to know it now. Knowing can help you see clearly where you have been hurt, and where you need to heal. Even when you think you're coping well--and, you well may be--life CAN get better.
More about Christine Baumgartner
Christine works with singles who are ready to finally have a loving partner in their life and are willing to tackle what’s been keeping that love away so they’ll finally attract the committed loving relationship they desire and deserve.
Christine’s coaching capitalizes on over 25 years as a wedding planner where she witnessed the benefits of people meeting and marrying “The Perfect Catch” (and the huge challenges that arose when they didn't).
This inspired her to focus on what happens BEFORE the marriage, which ultimately contributed to her to becoming a dating and relationship coach.
Christine then became a top coach for John Gray and by combining this coaching experience with her own personal dating experience she created her Transform Your Dating Life system.
