    Let’s Talk About Betrayal Trauma (Pt. 1)
    Apr 22 2026
    Thank you for y’alls patience, this week we’re finally discussing betrayal, betrayal trauma, and betrayal blindness. I sincerely apologize for getting derailed last week, hopefully this week’s episode shows you guys that I am course correcting and making up for the delay. Yes, this caption does seem quite serious but I’m just taking the time to display what this episode is all about. Hopefully you all enjoy the research I’ve collected because I sure as heck did. Next week we’ll be going into the neuroscience of betrayal blindness as well as the “freeze” response - so be prepared for a very cold Schauer. -Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/jRMKW Make sure to ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’ on Youtube, as well as rate me five stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts or any place you get your podcasts.

  • A Little Autistic Joy for National Autism Acceptance Month!

    A Little Autistic Joy for National Autism Acceptance Month!
    Apr 15 2026
    Howdy guys! This episode was originally supposed to be about “betrayal trauma” but I got derailed by some very cool research and just had to discuss my THEORY on what mirror neurons and theory of mind (ToM) are for when it comes to sleep and wellness. I will absolutely be covering betrayal trauma next week so stay tuned, also I just finished the book on the neural mechanisms of reading and dyslexia so the episode two weeks from now will be jam packed with information on how to accommodate dyslexic readers and hopefully that’ll be helpful on y’alls reading and learning journey! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey - I do apologize if it wasn’t easy to follow, I truly didn’t plan this one out so I will use more accessible language in the following episodes. I really did enjoy making this episode though, sharing information gives me such joy and I’m wishing everyone a happy National Autism Acceptance Month!

  • Who Needs to Be Reborn When You Could Just Reparent Yourself?

    Who Needs to Be Reborn When You Could Just Reparent Yourself?
    Apr 8 2026
    Praise be to common courtesy, this week on Schauer Thoughts we’re talking theories, thieves, and apologies. How do you learn something you were never taught? Like this. Hopefully my ramblings didn’t stray too far from y’alls path, I *too* like to wander. I will definitely do a part two to this episode, I really would like to discuss the differences between collectivist and individualistic emotions and what that means for the Bible and its teachings. I’m wishing everyone the best on their reparenting journeys - I send my sincere apologies for the pain that brought you here.
