The Save Your Sanity podcast offers episodes filled with the expert insights, validation, strategies, and support you need to recognize, manage, and recover from relationships with the relentlessly difficult, toxic--and often disturbing--people that host Dr. Rhoberta Shaler calls Hijackals®.
She offers invaluable help to stop the second-guessing, undermining, and crazy-making traits, patterns, and cycles you have encountered in relationships with folks like those. Understand the ways, whys, and hows that verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and spiritual abuse affect you over time. Whether the Hijackal is a partner, parent, ex, or colleague, what you will learn here will strengthen and empower you to step up, speak up, and stand up for yourself in healthy, assertive ways.
Many Hijackals have behaviors that are considered the same as those who are diagnosed as narcissists, borderlines, psychopaths, sociopaths, and histrionic personality disorder. These insights will help you to make the changes--and good decisions--to move from pain to power, and that's exactly what you want to do! Listen now.

Im subscribed on YouTube soni get alerted the moment you release a new show. im here on Castrol. i follow you on Facebook and I'm a member of you emerging group.. I ran out of material, so I went back all the way to the beginning of your shows for reference 🤣😂 Im really enjoying them too! Valuable info in your early days!"👏👏👏 I hope you have a great day doctor!
I keep coming back to this episode for reference, time and time again for my daughters mother. Anything titled "Pathological Liar", I'm all ears 👀👀👀
This is good stuff here 👏👏👏 I been dealing with this garbage, verbatim since my divorce started (2016) and finalized (2019). Shes still doing this as I speak right now 5 years later. I don't see this ending anytime soon and I dont have any plans on letting her get away with it either. We have a 5 year old little girl that is my world. I will never turn my back on her and leave her alone with this type if person, so I'm in it for life. Any suggestions on long term game for thus type if behavior is appreciated.
I'd love to hear a episode on how you CO parented with your ex hijackel
what an eye opener 😳😳😳🥺🥺😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Great show and very insightful! Thank you!
when this is your juvenile child, how do you deal with it?
I'm not condoning this or justifying this by any means, but did you know that the Bible says the womens body doesn't belong to them and belongs to their spouse? 1 Corinthians 7:4 says that the wife does not have authority over her own body but the husband. Also read Eph 5:24 I bring this up because I hear the word and the topic of marriage being brought up here quite often. You say these people (Hy-Jackels) use this tactic as a weapon. Are you saying Marriage/ the bible has "Hy-jackle tendencies?
I have listened to a lot of these types of podcasts (Narcissistic)... A LOT. This show hits on different things whereas all the others just repeat themselves over and over that really don't help. This is by far the best one I have came across yet. Thank you for everything you touch on, Roberta! Whether its all the descriptions of these kinds of people, or all the different scenarios that may or have came our way. All the way to down to these peoples characteristics and the games they play or why they think the way they do. You truly are a blessing and you are helping people understand why and know it is not their fault and not to blame. keep up the awsome work Roberta and I hope you are having a great day! THABK YOU!
we need more episodes on this topic but on what the alienating parent is doing and how to handle these situations with our kids. I am dealing with this right now and I am all ears to combating parents who are trying to brainwash their kids that the other parent does not love them or are bad or whatever
Any episodes on coparenting with a hijackal and the other parent basically programming the child to work aginst you?
I'd love to get the book (Stop thats crazy making), but in order to get it in audio form you have to own a kindle tablet, which i do not. if anyonevknows about an audio form in another way besides Kindle please let me know! Thank you for all you do here and keep up the amazing work. I love this show!!!
I need more of this! Where can I get more of this???
is there a episode on guilt tripping on this podcast, if so what number is it please?
Wow..... I was so shocked by how much of this truly resonated. Thank you for explaining these terms and the why behind them. Because I am the black sheep and I have a really hard time relating with my family, other than my brother. It's been tough, and certain circumstances have kept me at home. Some days it's so hard to function in a household like the one I'm in.
Wow. This conversation brought me to tears. Thank you Susan and Rhoberta.
ausom reminder/observe don't obsorb/stop look and listen/ feel except decide/breathe in and then breath it out?
I've read several things written by Dr. Shaler but this is the first time I've heard her podcast. I appreciate her civil approach to managing a challenging situation. One thing that stood out in this podcast was the the Hijackal's disruptions of holidays, etc., because their intent is to the be the center of attention. I hadn't considered it from that angle.
