Call in, “Get On The Couch” with Dr. Judy, and find the MAIN VEIN OF YOUR PAIN.

Dr. Judy WTF

Why do we keep turning to cigarettes, food, gambling, shopping, porn, alcohol, or even our phones when we’re hurting? In this raw and eye-opening episode of Dr. Judy WTF (What the Freud / What the Foot), Dr. Judy Rosenberg dives deep into the psychology of addiction and reveals what she calls the “Hole in the Soul”—the emotional wound left by childhood trauma, neglect, abuse, and disconnection that drives us to self-medicate.

Using her powerful Mind Map system, Dr. Judy breaks down how early wounds lead to emotional reactions, toxic encodings, chaos, and ultimately the defense mechanisms we call addictions. From smoking and gambling to binge eating and shopping, she explains the difference between filling yourself and truly fulfilling yourself—and why addictions only create temporary relief while deepening long-term pain.

Dr. Judy also shares insights from her upcoming book “Kick It: Stop Smoking and Be the Cause of Better Outcomes for Your Life”, including the psychology behind comfort smokers, control smokers, and performance smokers, and why quitting isn’t just about willpower—it’s about healing the original wound.

This episode features powerful listener questions, real-life examples, and an unfiltered look at why even life-threatening diagnoses often aren’t enough to stop addiction. If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I do this to myself?”—this conversation is for you.

It’s not about shame.
It’s not about weakness.
It’s about healing the hole… so you no longer need the filler.

Addictions: The Hole in the Soul Filler!

Happy Holidays, everyone!
This season can be especially triggering, so it’s important to carry strong boundaries—particularly when dealing with narcissists who may try to dominate the spotlight, love-bomb with gifts, or create emotional chaos. Protect your energy by choosing how much access they get to you. In some cases, the healthiest choice may be avoiding them altogether. If you do attend gatherings, set yourself up for success: sit away from them, keep interactions brief, and stay in a calm, neutral “grey rock” mode. Avoid sharing personal feelings; instead, keep conversations light—commenting on the food works great. Remember, holidays often activate a narcissist’s core wound of “never enough.” No matter how much they receive, it won’t fill their emotional void, and you don’t need to exhaust yourself trying. Preserve your energy and invest it in people who uplift you, create synergy, and enhance your life instead of draining you. Wishing you a joyful, peaceful holiday season—one where you are the cause of better outcomes in your life.

Holiday with a Narcissist: The Gift of Boundaries

In this powerful call-in episode of Dr. Judy WTF, Dr. Judy unpacks the difference between being in love and truly loving someone. She explains why the dopamine-filled highs of infatuation can feel like a drug, why those “butterflies” rarely last, and how real love is built on stability, shared values, and emotional safety. Using her Mind Map® system and attachment theory, Dr. Judy traces how childhood wounds, “holes in the soul,” and inconsistent parenting create anxious and avoidant attachment styles that play out in adult relationships.

A courageous caller shares how growing up with emotionally unavailable parents led him to repeatedly fall for partners who don’t have time for him. Dr. Judy walks him through her “What the Freud”® repetition principle—why we keep choosing rejecters and secretly hope they will finally heal our original pain. She also explores whether the in-love feeling can come back in long-term relationships, how to rekindle sparks with date nights, play, sex, and shared growth, and why becoming the cause of your healing (instead of at the effect of others) is the real path to healthy, mature love.

Love Versus In Love

If you’re in a relationship with a toxic friend, your mind, body, and soul already know it. You might feel constantly drained, heavy, tense, or plagued by headaches and stomachaches. Something inside you says this isn’t right—because it isn’t.

Toxic friendships often stem from your family blueprint gone wrong. When narcissistic or unempathic parents set the tone early in life, you may unconsciously attract similar people later on. It’s a true “What the Freud” moment!

Even if a toxic friend seems to bring some positive aspects into your life, don’t be fooled. As you grow and heal, your awareness shifts—and the relationship that once seemed fulfilling may start to feel unbearable. Eventually, you’ll recognize the truth: you’ve outgrown them, and the party’s over.

 • Offers tools to rekindle empathy in your life and community without getting lost or overwhelmed

The Stingy Ego: How Narcissists Sabotage Their Own Greatness

In this powerful episode of You Turn, Dr. Judy Rosenberg explores how our deeply rooted core beliefs—especially the negative ones formed in childhood—can unconsciously shape our entire lives. Why do we so often become the very reflection of our pain, fear, or unworthiness? Are we unknowingly turning into the “living proof” of what we’ve been programmed to believe? Dr. Judy breaks down the psychology behind these destructive patterns using her Mind Map® system, guiding listeners through the process of identifying, decoding, and healing from core beliefs that no longer serve us. Through real-life examples and insight-driven discussion, she reveals how to stop reinforcing harmful narratives and start living from a place of empowerment, truth, and emotional freedom. If you've ever wondered why you keep attracting the same toxic relationships, self-sabotaging your success, or battling inner shame—this episode will help you finally connect the dots and take back your power.

UNPOPULAR DATING RULES (to avoid later heartache) | Join The Conversation Call

Not everyone who is passive aggressive is narcissistic. The passive aggressive behavior can be a defense mechanism or it could be a way to demean, devalue, and destroy other people. It can make them feel gas lite and crazy, empowering over them behind their back. Silent treatment is a common of being passive aggressive. These people lack communication skills and do not know how to resolve conflict. This shame based personality type will resort to covert means to gain power and control at the expense of others.
