#27 - Dr. Judy Rosenberg on Breaking Toxic Cycles, Narcissism & Self-Worth
Description
What if the hardest parts of your relationship have less to do with today—and everything to do with unhealed childhood wounds?
In this powerful Season 2 conversation, Liat Gerszt and Mercedes “MJ” Javid sit down with psychologist Dr. Judy Rosenberg (author of Be the Cause: Healing Human Disconnect) to unpack her Mind Map Therapy—a step-by-step system for tracing our wounds, reactions, and the negative beliefs that keep us stuck.
You’ll hear how to stop absorbing other people’s pain, spot narcissistic dynamics, and turn breakdowns into breakthroughs. MJ gets real about the “mother wound,” Liat shares Kabbalah-inspired tools for finding certainty in dark moments, and Dr. Judy shows how to re-encode your story so love and intimacy can replace power and control.
