Asking for Myself

21. Why are all of my relationships toxic? (ft. Dr. Carli Blau + Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick)

Listen Later

Do you have that one friend that’s always in a toxic relationship? Is that friend you? This episode is all about red flags, unhealthy dynamics, and some serious introspection. I dive into murky waters with therapists Dr. Carli Blau and Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick (aka Dr. Liz). 


Here’s what we get into:


  • Are there predictors for ending up in an unhealthy relationship, such as childhood trauma/certain types of attachment wounds, or can anyone end up in an unhealthy relationship?
  • What are common behavior patterns that show up for people who have been in emotionally abusive relationships?
  • How do you identify and distinguish between a genuine red flag vs. a personal preference?
    • How do you talk about previous relationships and/or insecurities with a new partner?
    • How do you empathize with your partner while still honoring your needs?
    • How can you work through and heal from your own red flags? 


      • Trust me, you’re gonna want to tune in.
