5 Ways to deal with toxic relationships

If you follow my stories on IG, then you know I have been going to therapy for about a year and a half now. I have been pretty committed and have been able to work myself to 1 session a month!!! I have been focused on healing childhood trauma, improving my communication and setting strong boundaries. I have been listening to ton’s of audibles as well as currently reading Drama Free by Nedra, and it’s a GAME CHANGER!!!

Since I am doing the shadow work for healing and eliminating toxic relationships, I wanted to share just a few tips to help you on your healing journey:

1. Identify the areas of toxicity in the relationship. Understanding what aspects of the relationship are causing distress is a crucial first step to ameliorating the situation.
2. Set healthy boundaries. Establishing reasonable boundaries is important to protect yourself from the negative effects of a toxic relationship.
3. Communicate clearly and effectively. It is important to express your needs and concerns in a direct and respectful manner.
4. Take time for yourself. Make sure to take time for yourself and your own needs. Focusing on yourself for a while can help you regain strength and perspective.
5. Seek support. Toxic relationships can be emotionally draining, so it is important to reach out for help from friends, family, professionals, or support groups.

I hope that these quick tips will help you on your healing journey, I am happy that your are choosing to do the work to create the best version of yourself!

Happy Healing,
