How do abandonment wounds affect the way we love, trust, communicate, and choose relationships? In this raw and honest conversation, Kerie Hamilton and JD explore how childhood abandonment, parental absence, emotional wounds, and survival patterns can continue to influence adult relationships.

Kerie opens up about experiencing father abandonment and the patterns she developed while trying to protect herself and others. JD shares his experience of being raised by his father after his mother left, navigating a complicated relationship with his stepmother, and learning how to understand and express emotions he once struggled to communicate.

Together, they unpack the connection between childhood trauma and adult relationships, including:

• Why familiar pain can sometimes feel safer than healthy love

• How childhood survival patterns can follow us into adulthood

• Why emotionally unavailable partners may feel familiar

• The difference between sacrifice, attachment, and genuine connection

• How boundaries can help break unhealthy relationship patterns

• The role of vulnerability and emotional communication

• What forgiveness can look like without ignoring the pain

• How self-reflection can help us recognize repeating patterns

• Why healthy love can sometimes feel unfamiliar after trauma

Healing isn’t always about changing the people who hurt us. Sometimes, it begins with understanding why certain patterns became familiar in the first place.

Kerie and JD share their personal perspectives on abandonment, family dynamics, emotional availability, forgiveness, boundaries, vulnerability, and the hard work of creating healthier connections.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns?” or questioned why healthy love feels unfamiliar, this conversation offers an honest look at the wounds beneath the patterns—and what it can mean to begin breaking them.

What happens when you stop ignoring the signs and start listening to wisdom?

In this episode of Sorry Satan This Soul is for The Savior with Kerie Hamilton, we dive into a powerful message about wisdom, discernment, direction, and guarding your heart.

Kerie reminds us that what we allow into our hearts can influence the direction of our lives. Not every voice deserves access to you. Not every relationship is meant to continue. And sometimes, staying on the right path means having the courage to walk away from what keeps pulling you off it.

Kerie shares a raw perspective on recognizing manipulation, trusting your discernment, protecting your peace, and learning that familiar doesn’t always mean healthy.

Guard your heart. Watch your path. Choose wisdom.

Because sometimes God isn’t asking you to move faster…

He’s asking you to make sure you’re moving in the right direction.

What happens when the person you trusted to lead you is actually the person betraying you?

In this powerful episode of Sorry Satan This Soul is for The Savior with Kerie Hamilton, Kerie explores Zechariah 11 through the lens of betrayal, narcissistic abuse, manipulation, discernment, toxic relationships, and learning what real love is…and what love is not.

Kerie shares her personal journey of learning that love isn’t control, manipulation, fear, or losing yourself to keep someone else happy. Sometimes the people we believe are good, trustworthy, or safe can be the very people leading us away from our truth.

Zechariah 11’s imagery of the shepherd and the flock becomes a powerful reminder to look beyond appearances and pay attention to character, actions, and fruit.

This conversation is about recognizing when manipulation becomes control, when deception becomes normalized, and when following someone else’s version of reality causes you to abandon your own.

Most importantly, it’s about discovering that truth doesn’t always feel freeing at first…but standing in truth eventually sets you free.

If you’ve ever experienced narcissistic abuse, betrayal, a toxic relationship, trauma bonding, manipulation, or the painful process of rebuilding your identity after someone made you question yourself, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to keep following what is destroying you just because you once believed it was leading you somewhere good.

Sometimes the moment is simply realizing:

“This isn’t love. This isn’t truth. And I don’t have to follow it anymore.”

What happens when you lose everything—and finally surrender it all to God?

In this powerful episode of Sorry Satan This Soul is for The Savior with Kerie Hamilton, Sal shares his raw and deeply personal testimony of battling alcoholism, facing terminal cancer, and coming to a place where he had no choice but to surrender.

This isn’t just a story about addiction or illness. It’s a story about faith, surrender, spiritual warfare, redemption, and finding God when you feel like you’ve reached the end of yourself.

Sal opens up about the darkness of alcoholism, the reality of facing a terminal diagnosis, and the moment he realized he could no longer continue fighting life on his own terms. Instead of surrendering to the darkness, he chose to surrender to God.

His journey is a reminder that sometimes our greatest transformation begins at our lowest point.

You may hit rock bottom…but rock bottom doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

If you’re battling addiction, struggling with hopelessness, facing a life-changing diagnosis, or questioning where God is in the middle of your pain, Sal’s testimony may remind you that there is still purpose on the other side of surrender.

🎙️ Sorry Satan This Soul is for The Savior with Kerie Hamilton is a Trauma to Transformation based podcast for the Ones Who Hit Rock Bottom and chose to rise . It’s a safe space of giving hope that there is healing and Heaven, no matter the journey.

What if what you call ambition isn’t actually ambition at all?

Sometimes the relentless drive to succeed, prove yourself, stay productive, achieve more, or finally become “good enough” can come from somewhere much deeper—the mother wound, father wound, childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or the need to earn the love and validation you didn’t receive growing up.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the difference between healthy ambition and trauma-driven achievement.

Are you chasing your dreams because they genuinely fulfill you—or because some wounded part of you is still trying to prove your worth?

We’ll explore childhood trauma, attachment wounds, inner child healing, parental validation, people-pleasing, perfectionism, narcissistic parenting, abandonment wounds, self-worth, and the pressure to become successful as a way of escaping your past.

Because healing isn’t about becoming less ambitious

It’s about making sure your ambition belongs to you-not the wounded version of you that had something to prove.

Your success hits differently when you no longer need it to prove that you are worthy.

What happens when the person you have to co-parent with is also the person who constantly manipulates, controls, gaslights, or creates conflict? Or what if you are dating and cannot break from the trauma bond with the narcissist and you have children involved?

In this raw and honest episode, we unpack the reality of parenting with a narcissist—from narcissistic co-parenting and emotional manipulation to smear campaigns, reactive abuse, parental alienation, and the impossible pressure of trying to protect your children while maintaining your own peace.

You’ll learn how narcissistic behavior can impact children, why high-conflict co-parenting feels so exhausting, and how to stop getting pulled into the cycle of defending, explaining, and reacting.

Because sometimes healing isn’t about getting the narcissist to understand.

It’s about learning how to stop letting their chaos control your peace and becoming the safe, emotionally healthy parent your children need.

What happens when someone pushes you, provokes you, gaslights you, manipulates you, and then uses your reaction as “proof” that you are the problem?

In this powerful episode of SORRY SATAN THIS SOUL IS FOR THE SAVIOR with Kerie Hamilton, we unpack reactive abuse: what it is, how abusers can provoke emotional reactions, and why your response does not erase the pattern of abuse that came before it.

Because sometimes the reaction everyone sees is only the last chapter of a story they never witnessed.

They showed everyone your reaction. They just forgot to tell them what they did to create it.😡

Nobody talks enough about what happens to your body when you live in survival mode.

Constant stress.

Walking on eggshells.

Hypervigilance.

Anxiety.

Sleepless nights.

Emotional exhaustion.

You keep trying to survive the relationship… while your body is screaming, “I don’t feel safe.”

And let me make this clear: YOU ARE NOT “too sensitive.” Your nervous system may be responding to prolonged stress.

The healing begins when you stop making their chaos your responsibility.

You don’t need their apology to choose peace.

You don’t need their validation to choose yourself.

And you don’t need to destroy your health trying to prove your worth to someone who keeps hurting you.

PROTECT YOUR PEACE BECAUSE IN TIME; YOUR HEALTH WILL FORCE YOU TO‼️
