Yesterday everything was fine. Today they’re cold, they’ve ghosted you, or you find out they’ve been talking about you to everyone but you. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick takes on “hurt people hurt people” from a different angle: what if the pain isn’t being resolved but transferred, and what if the person on the receiving end has no idea a trial ever took place?

He also flips the script to what you do when you’re the one being accused. Stay with me. Follow Dr.
