Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if you are in a toxic relationship, and ironically, especially when you’re in one.  There are many factors that contribute to a very powerful trauma-bond causing confusion, distortion of reality, and a lack of trust in  your own perceptions.  You might often have a strong desire to leave the relationship but get stuck wondering if you’re misreading the behaviors, or if the negative moments are just mistakes that can be mended, forgiven and put in the past only to find a repeated pattern of similar destructive behavior.  But it’s hard to tell how much of the dysfunction in the relationship is you  and how much of it is your partner. This episode provides 30 signs of toxic behaviors to help you identify where the toxicity resides in order to make more informed decisions.
