| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. If we live long enough, sooner or later, all of us are going to face someone that we thought was our friend, |
| 0:15.3 | someone that we cared about that hurts us. And it can hurt a lot, particularly when they're close to us. |
| 0:22.4 | Like a spouse or a life partner or a dear |
| 0:26.7 | friend that we deeply loved when this happens it can really rock our world and |
| 0:31.9 | make us wonder what do we do? |
| 0:35.0 | What do we do when people that we love hurt us? |
| 0:38.0 | How do we respond in ways that don't take away from our happiness, but also help us to heal from the wounds that have just been inflicted upon us. |
| 0:48.0 | This is particularly challenging when we don't see it coming, when we don't expect it, and it seems to come out of nowhere |

| 1:35.4 | It is so sad for me to see that and I do my best to stop that behavior |
| 1:41.0 | and help them realize that they had a life together where they once loved |
| 1:45.2 | each other and they don't need to end it painfully. They can end it peacefully, even though |
| 1:51.8 | they now don't want to be together. |
| 1:54.0 | Or another case that is common that I see in my practice |
| 1:57.0 | is where someone was raised in an abusive environment |
| 2:00.0 | and the person who they were supposed to trust and to be trustworthy, like a parent or a sibling or a |
| 2:07.5 | grandparent, turns on them and hurts them. |
