"Empathy and support: Listen, love, and let them be."

 - Keith Kalfas

Topics Covered:

• Navigating Toxic Relationships: Understanding and Coping
• The Power of No Contact and Emotional Boundaries
• The Mean-Sweet Cycle of Narcissistic Behavior
• Empowering Yourself Against Toxicity

Key Takeaways "Imagine that every single time a person who has toxic traits does something that's rude or mean or downright abusive. It's just like if you just stand in your square, you just stand there in presence, in love and faith. Every time they do something. That's disrespectful. Imagine that they just pushed themselves farther away from you. They made a withdraw from the emotional bank account. Now they're going to have to make a bunch of positive deposits into that emotional bank account to earn your trust to get close to you again."  - Keith
