Emotional Immaturity Explained | Why does a man say he loves you—yet still leave you feeling alone, unheard, and emotionally unsafe?In this Clarity After the Conversation episode of Marriage Rehab, Dr. David Hawkins unpacks one of the most painful questions women ask: How can he say he loves me and still hurt me the same way over and over again?Building on the conversation with Dr. Eddie Capparucci, Dr. Hawkins explains why many men sincerely believe they are loving well while operating from emotional immaturity.

| 3/18/26 | ![]() Ep 64:Emotional Abuse in Christian Marriage: When Boundaries Are Necessary | Bob Paul | Why do Christian couples drift apart—even when they love God and want their marriage to work?

Bob also speaks directly to Christian couples navigating emotional abuse, explaining why boundaries are not unloving and why protecting emotional, spiritual, and mental safety can be a deeply godly act.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why Christian couples drift apartWhy love and faith alone are not enough without relationship skillsThe difference between trying and trainingHow statements like “I feel like…” often hide judgment and trigger defensivenessWhy humility and self-reflection are essential to healthy intimacyHow emotional abuse damages safety in marriageWhy boundaries in Christian marriage can be biblical and necessaryWhat real reconnection requires after distance, pain, and repeated hurtIf you’ve been asking:Why does my Christian marriage feel emotionally disconnected?Can I set boundaries in a Christian marriage?What does God-honoring safety look like in an emotionally abusive relationship?How do couples rebuild trust and connection after years of hurt?This conversation offers practical, biblical insight for couples who want more than surface-level advice.

| 3/5/26 | ![]() 60.Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents: Stop Pretending, Break the Cycle | Growing up with an emotionally abusive or narcissistic parent doesn’t stop impacting you when you turn 18—it often shows up as guilt, anxiety, people‑pleasing, and painful family estrangement. In this episode of Marriage Rehab, Dr. David Hawkins is joined by Ernest Hart (family interventionist) to unpack what happens to adult children inside a family culture built on denial, image management, and “pretending everything is fine.”You’ll hear why many families get trapped in a shared fantasy—quickly moving past hurt to “let’s have lunch” while real pain goes unacknowledged—and how that shapes emotional maturity, emotional vocabulary, boundaries, and future relationships. Ernest explains what it looks like to rally a family around truth, raise emotional safety, and rebuild connection through authentic expression, acknowledgement, and clear rules that stop coercion, gaslighting, and rage.If you’re trying to protect the next generation, untangle obligation, or finally name what you lived through, this conversation offers a practical, hope‑filled path forward—including how faith‑based families can pursue truth and healing without confusing it with dishonor.

CAC - Adult Children of Narcissistic Families: Why You Learned to Pretend (And How to Stop) | Adult children of narcissistic or emotionally abusive families often learn to survive by pretending everything is fine. In this Clarity After the Conversation episode, Dr. David Hawkins explains why guilt, self-doubt, and silence take root—and the first boundary that helps you stop the cycle.This episode focuses on three core patterns many listeners recognized in their own families:- Pretending (acting as if nothing happened)- The “shared fantasy” of a happy image- Learning to make yourself small to surviveIf you’ve ever wondered:“Am I being disrespectful—or finally being honest?”“Why do I feel guilty for telling the truth?”“Can I love my family and still name what hurt?”This episode helps you understand why pretending trains children to doubt their own reality—and offers one grounded next step that does not require confrontation.Clarity comes before action.

Married for the Wrong Reasons: When Marriage Is Built on Obligation, Not Love; Abuse Can Happen | What happens when your spouse looks like a “good guy” at church—but at home, you’re ignored, invalidated, and left carrying the whole family? In this powerful Marriage Rehab episode, Dr. David Hawkins sits down with Angela Coblentz (nurse and lay counselor) to share a 25‑year story of covert narcissism, emotional neglect, and the slow accumulation that finally becomes “neon.”Angela describes early deception and spiritual cover‑ups, a marriage marked by absentee parenting and chronic ignoring, and the moment she realized her children were being sacrificed on the altar of a marriage that refused accountability. You’ll hear what emotional neglect can look like (hovering, shutdown, weaponized incompetence, image management), why over‑functioning wives burn out, and how church pressure to “forgive and move on” can unintentionally enable harm.If you feel unseen, trapped by vows, or unsupported by faith communities, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and a safety‑first path forward—especially when kids are affected. | — | ||||||

Plus, Chuck shares the powerful “buffalo vs. the storm” metaphor for leaning into hard conversations with humility and regulation—so couples can move from resentment and detachment toward healthy emotional intimacy (connection without losing individuality). | — | ||||||

| 9/10/24 | ![]() 41. Narcissism, Emotional Abuse, and Internal Family Systems | In this episode of the Mad.In.Love podcast, Dr. David Hawkins is joined by Lucas Forstmeyer, a renowned practitioner and course creator specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, they explore the complex dynamics of narcissism, emotional abuse, and how specific patterns of behavior impact relationships.Lucas and Dr. Hawkins dive into the nuances of the term "narcissism," discussing when it's helpful to label behaviors and when it might be more effective to focus on specific patterns instead. They explore the concept of "Protective Parts" within IFS, which are often responsible for seemingly negative behaviors as a means of shielding vulnerabilities or exiled parts of ourselves. Lucas emphasizes the importance of approaching these protective mechanisms with compassion while maintaining healthy boundaries.The episode further unpacks the distinctions between the "Self," individual parts, and the "Healthy Adult"—a state that combines the Self with developed skills and mature aspects of one's personality. Lucas and Dr. Hawkins share practical examples and strategies on how this understanding can lead to better emotional regulation and healthier relationship dynamics.Lastly, they address the role of inherent temperament, such as being naturally agreeable or disagreeable, and how these temperamental differences influence our perceptions of behaviors often associated with narcissism. Lucas offers insights on balancing respect for inherent traits while addressing problematic behavior patterns.Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how IFS can be used to navigate complex relationship challenges, and learn strategies for fostering compassion towards yourself and others.Founded by Dr. David Hawkins, the Marriage Recovery Center is the leading authority on the treatment of narcissistic and emotional abuse.

| 12/13/22 | ![]() Episode 11: What Narcissists Misunderstand About Love | Welcome to Mad.In.Love! Today we will be discussing what narcissists misunderstand about love and joining me for this conversation is Dr. Les Carter, a therapist who specializes in anger management and narcissistic personality disorder, and host of the Surviving Narcissism podcast.Join us as we dive into the topic of narcissists and love – is it even possible for these two things to coincide? If you were to ask a narcissist if they love their spouse, partner, child, parent, etc. they would answer “yes, of course!” but is their idea of love really love, or is it their own twisted idea of love? A narcissist’s idea of love revolves around being thought of highly, anything that makes them feel good, and having agreement and conformity. None of these things have anything to do with real love. We’ll talk about the 5 levels of relationship and what healthy love looks like.Surviving Narcissism with Dr. Les Carter Founded by Dr. David Hawkins, the Marriage Recovery Center is the leading authority on the treatment of narcissistic and emotional abuse.
