#93: Why Are "Toxic" Relationships So Hard to Recover From


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why it can be so challenging to recover from toxic relationships? Why the drama and unpredictability leave you feeling more disoriented and overwhelmed than relieved? In today's episode, I'm here to guide you through this complex terrain. We'll unravel the dynamics of such relationships and expose the confusion, grief, and shame that often accompany them. 

It's a hard road, but I'm here to help you navigate through it. We'll dig into practical tools to assist you in the recovery process, and learn how to move on in a healthy way. 

We'll cover:

  • why we can feel more confused than relieved post-break up
  • how shame and isolation that can keep us cut off from our support networks
  • why closure can be particularly elusive after dysfunctional relationships
