Healthy//Toxic

Healthy versus Toxic is a podcast where licensed mental health professionals explore what makes a relationship healthy or unhealthy from a scientifically informed perspective. This show often centers around the topics of narcissism, narcissistic abuse, and the negative effects of being exposed to a narcissist in the workplace, family, or in a romantic relationship. Our hosts aim to provide a scientifically informed perspective on what factors go into making healthy relationships, how to build secure attachment, and how to be a better parent, child, partner, or friend.
