So James treated her poorly and then cheats on her, and then wants her back when he sees her dating other men and doing better for herself?? If a woman starts dating other men, they’re already choosing traits they don’t like in you. There’s usually a breath of fresh air to being free from the your baggage. So, shes moved on and probably will not come back and I’m GLAD for her. Mary, you do NOT owe anyone a second chance, especially if they cheated on you
Dr. John Delony - please don’t stop your loud, high energy at the show’s beginning! I look forward to it, it makes me happy. I do miss your horse sounds as well 😊
I was shocked at the reactions I got when I finally said “No,” to people I had always struggled with. To my surprise, the world didn’t end. They didn’t even react negatively-! It’s actually improved my life. It has distanced family that would usually ask too much of me. (Not disappointed at that!)
During the first call when the man said the words...."she's at the best I've ever seen". I immediately thought I hope this woman doesn't fall for this. Men do this they deplete the hell out of a woman then when they see she is back healthy, and happy they come back for more until the woman is depleted again and that is totally not fair at all. I hope for her well being that Mary stays away.
Yes you're right. But you have to remember that the guy started working on himself when she left him for sure and filed for divorce. Sometimes we only wake up when we're faced with tough love. He deserves another chance but the woman has to be very cautious if he falls back to old patterns.
@@JaZmine147hy? In this case why does he deserve it? He just told the world he thought she was a slut from the get go. I think this will help him in future relationships. She deserves a healthy man
Um, I love the yelling. I love the excitement for what you do. Although maybe that comes from someone who is also told they are “ a lot” 🤷🏻♀️ Much love, high fives, and virtual hugs 🫂
Same with loving the yelling. Same with being "a lot." I have both ADHD and autism and I appreciate a good shout n' screech session. And I also appreciate some one else appreciating it too. Unless they're literally right next to my ear.
Ashley’s call shook me. I’m there with my own parents. I just hate their decisions to be unhealthy, and I haven’t liked being around them for a long time, nor do I want my children around them. It was a hard decision, but I would be more scared if I continued to turn a blind eye to my dad’s alcoholism or my mom’s denials/angry outbursts. It hurts a lot to be around them, but we need to be protected.
That first call was a beautiful story of how stupidly peole decide to pick partners. Don't know the person at all. Fall immediately into lust with them Pick some random not measurable trait aka "christian, traditional, conservative, etc" and use it as a demonstration of compatibility. Unfortunately, unless you actually get to know the person, you don't know their values and how they express those values. Mix in a bunch of unresolved childhood trauma and boom!
I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's stupid at all. Seeing compatibilities are what brings unity. You can't find out differences unless you tried to unite, so it's a risk many take in relationships, workplaces, political parties, etc.
@@AlexBobalexRavenclaw the problem is that they do not necessarily translate to compatibility. There are so many definitional assumptions embedded in many of the examples I listed. Let's take Christian. What does it actually mean? What does it represent? Technically, it means someone accepts Jesus as the son of god and path to heaven. Now, how does that translate into how the person lives their life? What does that have to do with their relationship needs? Parenting style? Work-life balance? Financial strength? Love language? Communication style? Conflict resolution? You know, ALL of the things that make and break relationships! We check boxes but fail to dig into what these boxes mean. You could be with a Christian who is a convicted murderer. You could be with an atheist who has never even harmed a fly. It is our job to actually get to know who the person is! Not just check boxes. Men in particular pick women based on looks. They see women as objects and pieces on the board of life. This man married and made children with a woman he doesn't know. All to live some fantasy version of life. Paint by numbers. She checked the boxes. Notice he didn't describe any traits about her? He didn't say she was kind, warm, funny, patient, passionate, motivated, smart, thoughtful, etc... Saying she was Christian was the same as saying she was black. It tells me nothing about her. But I can ASSUME a ton, based on stereotypes and preconceived notions about the group.
He didn't say all those things. He said that he was glad she was Christian because he is too and that's what he wanted. Don't change his words. There may be more than just that but going off on a few phrases is just not accurate.
DJD, you do amazing work. I love your energy and down-to-earth silliness. The only time I feel concerned is when you take a call at that high, exuberant energy level because I wonder if a nervous person in pain is calling and how they are potentially impacted by the super seemingly happy-go-lucky help who greets them. But you sure do a bang-up job with hurting humans once you’re engaged in the reason for their call ❤.
Lol I wrote something like this just yesterday. I can see how it can be very distracting and even off putting to people calling though I'm sure they're so grateful for the excellent help they overlook it. Put it this way I have thought of calling n still would despite this but it's something I'm gonna have to mentally prepare for so I strike a balance between seeming like a stick in the mud or ungracious vs laughing with him to be polite before launching into my story. .y first therapist was too much like this but for far too long in the session and as someone I experienced and polite enough n actually with a very good sense of humor I went along with it far too long. Unfortunately unlike John he never really had ang great insights.
High energy is good to start the show. It's when you answer the call singing some disco song and your caller's next words are a conversation that's the complete opposite. 😅
Well, you can’t control anything being anxious. But setting the pattern “I’m incapable of thing’s changing let’s just chill” is absolutely wrong. You not stupid mr Doctor. You’re must know that without collective and individual responsibility for how our world will looks like in 50, 100 or even 15 years picture ll be incomplete. Changing ourselves we changing global picture. We all capable. Daniel - you’re a conscious and nice human being. Don’t lose it, but hopefully you’ll find a way to make it kinder for inner peace you deserve
Last call: as a former healthcare professional and iatrogenic injury survivor, I can tell you that all meds, but specifically psych meds, can be extremely dangerous and toxic. They can bring a plethora of side effects that not only affect the brain but the whole body. Psych meds can cause a myriad of physical and mental symptoms, and can definitely change the thoughts, personality, character and behaviors of a person. And what I’ve learned is that the vast majority of doctors are completely clueless about the real consequences of meds, and they’re not taught properly in med school about meds, side effects, withdrawal and proper tapering, therefore they injure millions of people with these meds and their ignorance, arrogance, ineptitude, and patient gaslighting. Her mother in law most likely has been damaged by the amounts of meds and all of the sudden switching out without proper tapering or discontinuation method. Oh boy…every time I hear about these type of cases my heart breaks and I feel enraged cuz I know exactly what these folks go through and feel, yet not doctors nor their families believe them or support them correctly. 🙈🥺😞😤💔 Btw…chemical induced anxiety/panic/depression can’t be control cuz is involuntary since is caused by the damage the meds cause. This is not regular life anxiety…this is some high level out of control chemically induced terror. People won’t know or believe it till they experience it. I know cuz I used to think the same way till it happened to me.,
I think Daniel is pretty impressive. The news cycle can really be stressful. I'm glad he's speaking out about it instead of spiraling into conspiracy theories and finding comfort in that, as many people did.
Enforcing a boundary is a lot like saving money. How do you save money? Stop spending it. How do you set boundaries with problematic behaviors? Stop participating in them. YOu just say no. It really is that simple. You have to stop making excuses. It's never the case that you really tried sticking to a budget, but something unexpected came up. It's that you tried doing a budget, and when it got hard, you stopped sticking to it, and that's why you have no money. And with relationships, it's often the case that you've done a great job SETTING the boundaries. But it got too hard when it came time to enforce them, so you gave in. And so you have no peace. The fruit of a financial budget is financial peace. And the fruit of a "relational budget" is relational peace.
That's the truth meaning of taking the lord's name in vain, not cusing . I really dislike the way these people use they christian card. Stop. It's giving christians bad reputation. Sleeping around. Cheating around isn't okay. " I always wanted a christian woman cause am a christian man". Stop, seriously. Stop.
Being a Christian isn't about being perfect. In fact, 99% of Christians are broken people. Christians cheat, lie, sleep around. That's human nature. What makes a Christian a Christian is "christ". A Christian accepts Jesus christ as lord and savior, dying on the cross for sins. Christ came and died so we can have a relationship with christ.
Makes me annoyed too. I know for many people it's all "Check, check, check, that equals happily ever after". I totally get that's a naive approach, but it's hard not to learn the lesson until you make those mistakes yourself.
@@AlexBobalexRavenclaw we all know they're full of it when they use that christian or walking with the Lord card. Yet everything in their lives continues to be everything void of the Lord especially unfaithful and disloyal people, seem to think it's some uno reverse card that makes everything ok now or disappear.
Nothing wrong with choosing to be with a Christian imo. When someone says one thing but doesn't follow up with their own actions is inexcusable, Christian or not.
Christians are just sinners that have been forgiven. You might not like their brand of sin... But all us sinners are going against God's way. Maybe your brand of sin is gossip or overeating or driving over over the speed limit. Careful about that plank in your eye.
Did James just compare his AFFAIR to Mary having sexual relations with men BEFORE they met? That is pure mysogony and narcissism. He was judging her for not being a virgin while he was sleeping with other women. Sorry, but this guys brain is just too underdeveloped. The fact that he JUST said this garbage means he shouldn't be dating anyone. This guy is TOXIC. "I dont remember having dinner with my mom and dad." Boo freakin hoo. Grow up and stop hurting people. Most people have crap childhoods. Let this woman heal from the damage you did and do better with the next one. Oh and wear a damn condom. Take some responsibility for your life.
Yeah I liked that he was working on himself and did sound sincere but he's got lot of work still n I found it hilarious that he was happy to meet a Christian girl? Why. Clearly neither of them, especially him are acting that way. She had 2 kids with someone she wasn't even married to which already putting those kids in danger then she sleeps around with guys at work n when she meets James and gets married despite him already having 2 kids n failed relationship n she having 2 kids they decided not just to have another (which actually affects the other kids and adds additional expenses and stress) but pretty soon into it.. once a child is born no one wants to even imagine them not being here but too many people are in situations where they should not be having more kids. Best to them both n hope they are sincere in trying to learn n grow.
The caller at the end has to live in reality as John said. If anyone the husband, her son should be going it so she doesn't look like the bad guy. The fact that she even asked if she was a bad person for throwing in the towel is interesting. It's not even her mother. She seems to have really big codependency issues that she has to work out bc will get even more enmeshed with her kids one day especially. Sure it's difficult but she can't help someone not willing or able to help themselves and certainly not without the others on board. But I missed the part about why can't the parents come to visit them or why can't they all meet for dinner at an restaurant or even lunch in the park when visiting. Setting Grandma up on a zoom call so she can see the baby and stay in touch could also help.
3:22 questioning safety while their are both in the same house and both on the call listening… it’s not helpful. It has to be done in a one to one private and confidential moment. Been there
I hear ya, as I've watched more and more of them I think he really does like her as a person . It is like brother and sister. I agree Texans are not so good at sarcasm, as a New Englander in the South it comes across as passive aggressive lol!
Listened to the piece about the invasion. I have soooo much anxiety for the past few years. It took a toll on my marriage for sure and relationships around… it’s kind of bitter sweet listening about “I can’t do anything about it and I will just turn off the news”. I am so happy that you can do it and I think it is the best advice to turn off the news while you can. Love each other, enjoy your families, peace, regular problems❤❤❤ I wish I wish I wish I could bring those days back when I could think like that. I miss those days so much. But I’m Ukrainian… I don’t live there, but my parents and my brother do. Constant anxiety, stress, constant horrible news… I wish I could just know how to deal with this and not let your life burn to the ground. I wish I could not feel useless. I wish I could be happy and not feel constant pressure in my chest. I wish I could not be terrified about what kind of life my 3 year old boy is going to live. How can I give him a happy mom and not have him constantly asking me “are you happy mom? Smile.” I wish my husband could understand what I’m going through and not be sick and tired of me and my problems… I am so tired of being a burden and disappointment to people around me.
Oh Olga, that’s so relatable, and I’m so sorry. Maybe compartmentalizing would be good. Schedule yourself time in the morning or evening, or both, to listen to the news and be angry and anxious. Then have a timer that tells you it’s time to engage with your life here, be the source of love and joy and play for your sweet son, and as much of a partner as you can be to your husband. Maybe the evening shift is for you and your husband to freak out, but for him to support you while you’re going through hell. (He better be or throw him away..) That way you’d have time and support each day to catch up on the horrible news, and be supported, and have the rest of your day to invest in your family and yourself. I’m so so sorry you’re going through this. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, it’s just a horrible situation all the way around
John, I think you just need to be you and if people don’t like the yelling at the beginning then they can just turn the volume down for about two seconds and get over it
Love the show but WHY does he talk down about himself ALL THE TIME. Be more confident. (And stop flirting with your female coworkers) I know it’s for fun but I’m not sure I would be comfortable with my husband talking to other woman the way he talks to his coworkers.
I don’t see it as flirting. He did the exact same thing with James when he was the producer I think it’s just his personality. He’s also just a very kind and genuine guy so I can see how it’s misconstrued but it’s not meant to be flirting because I see him do it with Dave, George, James, and some of his other male coworkers as well.
I’m not convinced he’s flirting. It seems to be his banter. He may be a bit lighter on the banter with women than with men, but that’s just a product of patriarchy LOL
So James treated her poorly and then cheats on her, and then wants her back when he sees her dating other men and doing better for herself?? If a woman starts dating other men, they’re already choosing traits they don’t like in you. There’s usually a breath of fresh air to being free from the your baggage.

I actually liked the yelling tbh. It always gave me the “ITS MORNING TIME YEAHHHHHHHH 💪🏼✨🤌🏼” kinda vibe
Same here!!
It is such a boon to lower stress and dramatically increase self confidence.

"Whats your ethnic background?" On the first call has to be the most insincere question I've ever heard lol.
And unnecessary. Every ethnic background has relationship problems across the spectrum.
@bethgeni people are scared to address bad behavior of someone claims it's part of their culture.
No. No Michael Jackson

Love the show but WHY does he talk down about himself ALL THE TIME. Be more confident. (And stop flirting with your female coworkers) I know it’s for fun but I’m not sure I would be comfortable with my husband talking to other woman the way he talks to his coworkers.
I don’t see it as flirting. He did the exact same thing with James when he was the producer I think it’s just his personality. He’s also just a very kind and genuine guy so I can see how it’s misconstrued but it’s not meant to be flirting because I see him do it with Dave, George, James, and some of his other male coworkers as well.
I’m not convinced he’s flirting. It seems to be his banter. He may be a bit lighter on the banter with women than with men, but that’s just a product of patriarchy LOL
Because light flirting makes his partner try harder. Charismatic men have wives that try harder.
Sorry, for the locker room talk.
@@jeradkiester698 interesting take 🤔
Yes, that's so sad...
