Secrets shape us from childhood onward, and keeping them can quietly corrode a life. Armand DiMele invites listeners to call in and unburden themselves on air, drawing out stories of sexual abuse, infidelity, addiction, and shame, and exploring why telling the truth, even to a stranger, brings relief.
Childhood sexual abuse is far more complex than stranger rape, and the family ties that bind a child to a perpetrator make the damage uniquely lasting. Armand DiMele speaks with Dr. Christine Courtois, author of “Healing the Incest Wound,” about definitions of incest, sibling abuse, long-term effects including PTSD and fibromyalgia, and recovery in adulthood. Callers share raw personal testimony.
Hypnotherapist Cindy Brielotta walks Armand DiMele through the five-phase process she uses to locate and release buried emotions. The conversation covers why suppressed feelings drain energy and drive overreaction, how hypnotic age regression traces emotions back to their earliest source, and why forgiving an offender is ultimately an act of self-liberation.
