Navigating Toxic Relationships: Is It Me or Is It Them? (PART 2)
Have you ever wondered if you're in a toxic relationship but just can’t quite put your finger on what feels off? Maybe you’re questioning if it’s you or them.
Toxic relationships aren’t limited to romantic partners. These unhealthy dynamics can show up with friends, family, and even colleagues. You might not even realise how much they’re affecting your mental and emotional well-being until you know what to look for.
In this episode, we continue the conversation from Part 1, where I shared Jane’s story to show you firsthand how toxic relationships can play out. In this episode, we dive further into the behaviours that make these relationships so damaging—things like manipulation, control, and emotional abuse.
If you’ve ever felt drained or confused, this episode is packed with insights to help you spot the red flags and take back control.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, I highly recommend starting there so you can fully understand how these dynamics unfold.
Take a moment for yourself today and tune in. It might just be the clarity you’ve been looking for.
If after listening, you feel you need extra support, my team and I are always here to help you navigate these challenges. Feel free to book in a FREE 15 minute chat to discuss how we can support you.
