As a National Board-Certified Counselor (NCC) and the owner of NorthPoint Professional Counseling Inc. , John brings his expertise in marriage restoration, sexual addiction recovery, and partner betrayal trauma to help listeners understand the role of disclosure in the healing journey. Why is Therapeutic Disclosure Important? When relational betrayal occurs—whether through infidelity, pornography use, or other forms of secrecy—the foundation of trust is shattered . The betrayed partner is often left feeling confused, unsafe, and emotionally devastated. In these moments, many unfaithful partners believe that withholding details or minimizing the truth will protect their spouse from further pain. However, partial truths and continued deception only deepen the wounds and make healing impossible. A structured, professionally guided disclosure is a crucial step toward true reconciliation and emotional restoration. Here’s why: ✔️ Rebuilding Trust: Full transparency is essential for rebuilding trust. Betrayed partners need to know that their spouse is no longer hiding anything from them. ✔️ Restoring Safety: Healing cannot begin in an environment of secrecy and dishonesty. Disclosure helps create a foundation of truth and emotional safety . ✔️ Validating the Betrayed Partner’s Reality: Many betrayed partners struggle with gaslighting, self-doubt, and an inability to piece together what really happened. Disclosure helps validate their experiences and emotions. ✔️ Preventing Future Triggers: Without a full understanding of the betrayal, a partner is left guessing, which can lead to unexpected triggers and ongoing distress. Knowing the whole truth allows for a more predictable healing process . ✔️ Allowing for True Forgiveness and Healing: Forgiveness cannot be forced or rushed. However, it becomes possible when the betrayer takes full accountability, shows genuine remorse, and commits to honesty moving forward. Who is This Podcast For? ✔️ Betrayed partners seeking truth, validation, and healing ✔️ Individuals who have betrayed their spouse and want to rebuild trust ✔️ Couples looking for guidance in navigating full disclosure ✔️ Therapists and professionals wanting deeper insights into the process This episode of The Therapeutic Disclosure Process provides insightful guidance, practical steps, and encouragement to help individuals and couples move forward with clarity and confidence. Tune in and take the next step toward healing and trust.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبSend us a text A Comprehensive Examination of Mental Health Introduction Counselor and author, John Sternfels, discusses the importance of mental health. Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing how individuals think, feel, and act. It affects daily functioning, relationships, and physical health. Mental health is not merely the absence of mental illness but also involves the presence of positive characteristics such as resilience, self-esteem, and the ability to manage stress. Historical Context Historically, mental health has been misunderstood and stigmatized. Early civilizations often attributed mental disorders to supernatural forces, leading to inhumane treatments. The 19th and 20th centuries saw the emergence of more scientific approaches, with the development of psychiatry and psychology as distinct fields. The deinstitutionalization movement of the mid-20th century aimed to improve care by closing large psychiatric hospitals and emphasizing community-based services. Current Understanding Today, mental health is recognized as a critical aspect of overall health. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines mental health as a state of well-being where individuals realize their abilities, cope with normal life stresses, work productively, and contribute to their community. Challenges and Barriers Despite advances in understanding and treatment, several challenges remain: Stigma : Societal stigma can prevent individuals from seeking help and can negatively affect their self-esteem and recovery. Access to Care : There is a significant disparity in the availability of mental health services, particularly in low-income and rural areas. Integration with General Healthcare : Mental health care is often siloed from general health care, despite the interconnection between mental and physical health. Future Directions The future of mental health care lies in integrated, personalized approaches. Advances in neuroscience and genetics hold promise for more targeted treatments. Public health initiatives must focus on reducing stigma, improving access to care, and promoting mental health literacy. Additionally, technology, including telemedicine and digital mental health tools, can expand access to services and support. Meditation for Mental Self-Care Meditation is a powerful tool for mental self-care, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being. By incorporating meditation into daily routines, individuals can foster a greater sense of peace and mental clarity. Meditation is a valuable practice for mental self-care, offering numerous benefits for emotional health, stress reduction, and overall well-being. By incorporating various meditation techniques into daily routines, individuals can cultivate a more mindful, peaceful, and resilient mindset. Conclusion Mental health is a vital component of overall well-being, influencing all aspects of life. Understanding its complexities and addressing the challenges associated with mental health disorders requires a comprehensive, compassionate approach.

Fear, an emotion deeply embedded in the human experience, has been a subject of fascination, analysis, and debate throughout history. As a multifaceted phenomenon, fear touches upon various aspects of our lives, influencing our decisions, shaping our perceptions, and even steering the course of societies. Introducing fear as a topic of discussion is not merely an exploration of an emotion but an invitation to unravel the intricate layers that compose this complex terrain. At its core, fear is a primal and adaptive response that has evolved to ensure survival. It manifests in diverse forms, ranging from instinctual fears like the fear of danger or predators to more complex, nuanced fears such as existential anxieties and societal phobias. In essence, fear acts as a powerful force that permeates our thoughts, behaviors, and interactions. Introducing fear as a topic of discussion is an exploration that transcends the boundaries of individual emotions, reaching into the realms of psychology, culture, society, and personal development. By engaging in thoughtful conversations about fear, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and societal introspection, fostering empathy and understanding and perhaps uncovering the key to unlocking the potential for growth and transformation.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبSend us a text In this episode, counselor and author John Sternfels discusses Toxic shame. Toxic shame is a pervasive and enduring form of shame that can significantly impact one's quality of life. It is consciously transferred by means of shaming rules and can be deeply ingrained in one's sense of self, leading to constant exposure of the failure of the self to the self. Toxic shame is often driven by the fear of being exposed or rejected, leading individuals to develop perfectionistic tendencies as a defense mechanism to mask their insecurities and feelings of unworthiness. This can manifest as a relentless inner critic, difficulty in establishing boundaries, and a constant pursuit of perfection to avoid potential rejection. The interconnection between toxic shame and perfectionism lies in the individual's efforts to cope with and conceal their deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness through the pursuit of unattainable standards and the fear of being exposed or rejected. To help overcome toxic shame and perfectionism, it is important to recognize and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors. Here are some strategies that can help: Overcoming Toxic Shame: Self-Compassion: Practice self-compassion and challenge shame-based thoughts. Recognize that you are not defined by past mistakes or shortcomings. Therapy: Consider seeking the support of a mental health professional. Therapy can provide a safe space to explore and heal from toxic shame. Establishing Boundaries: Work on setting healthy boundaries and asserting your needs to avoid potential rejection. Coping Techniques: Learn and practice coping techniques to reframe emotions associated with shame. This may include mindfulness, self-care, and positive self-talk. Overcoming Perfectionism: Redefine Success: Shift the focus from unattainable perfection to personal growth and learning from mistakes. Embrace Vulnerability: Recognize that vulnerability is a strength and allows for genuine connections with others. Seeking Support: Engage in open conversations with trusted individuals about your struggles with perfectionism. This can help you gain perspective and support. Challenge All-or-Nothing Thinking: Practice challenging black-and-white thinking patterns and embrace the concept of progress over perfection.

Children and social media have become inseparable in today's digital age. As technology advances, more kids are gaining access to various social media platforms at increasingly younger ages. While social media offers opportunities for communication, creativity, and learning, it also raises concerns about the potential risks and impacts on children's well-being. On the positive side, social media can enhance children's social skills by allowing them to connect with peers, share experiences, and express themselves creatively. It can also serve as a valuable educational tool, providing access to a wealth of information and resources. However, the downside involves potential exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and privacy issues. Children may encounter harmful material or engage in risky behaviors online. Moreover, the addictive nature of social media can contribute to issues such as sleep disturbances and a negative impact on mental health. Parents, caregivers, and grandparents play a crucial role in managing children's social media usage. Establishing age-appropriate guidelines, discussing online safety, and monitoring online activities are essential steps to ensure a healthy relationship between children and social media. Education about responsible online behavior, critical thinking, and digital literacy is key in empowering children to navigate the digital world safely. In summary, integrating children and social media comes with benefits and challenges. Striking a balance between leveraging the positive aspects and mitigating potential risks requires active involvement from parents, educators, and the broader community to promote a healthy and safe online environment for children.

Send us a text In this episode, counselor and author John Sternfels discusses Polygraphs, also known as lie detectors. Polygraphs are instruments used to measure physiological responses associated with truthfulness or deception. The primary purpose of a polygraph test is to assess whether a person is being truthful or deceptive in their responses to a set of questions. Here are some key components and principles associated with polygraph examinations: Physiological Measurements: Heart Rate: Polygraphs measure changes in heart rate using an electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor the heartbeat. Respiration Rate: A pneumograph tracks the rate and depth of breathing. Galvanic Skin Response (GSR): Electrodermal activity is measured to assess changes in skin conductance, which can indicate emotional arousal. Test Procedure: During a polygraph examination, a person is asked a series of questions while the polygraph records physiological responses. The test typically involves a pre-test interview to establish baseline readings and discuss the questions that will be asked. Relevant, irrelevant, and control questions are used to assess reactions. Relevant questions relate to the issue being investigated, while irrelevant questions are unrelated. Scoring and Interpretation: Polygraph examiners analyze the physiological data to identify significant changes associated with deceptive or truthful responses. The examiner interprets the results based on patterns of physiological responses. It's important to note that the accuracy and reliability of polygraph results have been a subject of debate among experts.

Send us a text In this episode, counselor and author John Sternfels discusses partner betrayal trauma. Partner Betrayal Trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, financial, spiritual, and relational distress experienced by an individual when their partner engages in actions that violate trust and betray the core values of the relationship. This type of trauma often arises from infidelity, deception, or other forms of betrayal within a romantic relationship. Critical components of partner betrayal trauma include: Trust Violation: The betrayed partner experiences a breach of trust, a fundamental element of a healthy relationship. Trust is essential for emotional intimacy and the stability of the partnership. Emotional Impact: Betrayal trauma can lead to intense and overwhelming emotional reactions. The betrayed partner may experience feelings of shock, disbelief, anger, sadness, anxiety, and profound hurt. Cognitive Distress: The betrayed individual may struggle with intrusive thoughts, rumination, and a sense of cognitive dissonance as they try to reconcile the actions of their partner with their expectations and beliefs about the relationship. Impact on Self-Esteem: Betrayal can significantly impact the betrayed partner's self-esteem and self-worth. They may question their adequacy, attractiveness, and value within the relationship. Changes in Relationship Dynamics: The revelation of betrayal can alter the dynamics of the relationship. Communication may break down, and rebuilding trust becomes a challenging process. The betrayed partner may also struggle with forgiveness issues and the ability to move forward.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبSend us a text In this podcast, counselor and author John Sternfels will discuss sexual addiction, also known as hypersexuality or compulsive sexual behavior, and the 30-Task model of recovery. "Like an alcoholic unable to stop drinking, sexual addicts are unable to stop their self-destructive sexual behavior. Family breakups, financial disasters, loss of jobs, and risk to life are the painful themes of their stories." Sex addicts come from all walks of life - they may be ministers, physicians, homemakers, factory workers, salespersons, secretaries, clerks, accountants, therapists, dentists, politicians, or executives, to name just a few examples. Most were abused as children - sexually, physically, and emotionally. The majority grew up in families in which addiction already flourished, including alcoholism, compulsive eating, and compulsive gambling. Most grapple with other addictions as well, but they find sex addiction the most difficult to stop. Much hope nevertheless exists for these people with an addiction and their families. Sex addicts have shown an ability to transform a life of self-destruction into a life of self-care, a life in chaos and despair into one of confidence and peace." - Patrick J. Carnes, Ph.D. Author of Out of the Shadows Furthermore, sexual addiction is defined as any sexually related, compulsive behavior that interferes with everyday living and causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones, and one's work environment. Sexual addiction has been called sexual dependency and sexual compulsivity. By any name, it is a compulsive behavior that completely dominates the addict's life. Sexual addicts make sex a priority more important than family, friends, and work. Sex becomes the organizing principle of addict's lives. They are willing to sacrifice what they cherish most to preserve and continue their unhealthy behavior. Dr. Patrick Carnes estimates three to six percent of the population is facing sexual addiction. It remains unclear whether one gender has a higher incidence of sexual addiction than the other. Research by Dr. Carnes shows that approximately 20 - 25% of all patients who seek help for sexual dependency are women. (This same male-female ratio is found among those recovering from alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and pathological gambling.) Treatment for individuals struggling with problematic sexual behaviors may involve psychotherapy, support groups, and sometimes medication. - Source: SexHelp.com John Sternfels , LPC, NCC, CSAT, CMAT, CCPS, C-SASI Owner/Clinical Director of NorthPoint Professional Counseling Counselor and Author Books Available: A Partner's Guide To Truth & Healing Behind The Smile: Healing From Abuse, Trauma, and Betrayal DOWNLOAD for Parents: Sex, Social Media, and Secrets SEX: Secular, Relativistic-Cultural or Biblical?

The parent-child relationship is a fundamental and unique bond that plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's development and well-being. It is a complex interplay of emotions, responsibilities, and influence that evolves over time. This relationship typically begins with the birth of a child, but it extends far beyond infancy, shaping the individual throughout various stages of life.

Trust and mutual respect become paramount, and maintaining a supportive connection can positively impact a teenager's self-esteem and decision-making.
