A long and healthy life isn’t just about physical well-being—our emotional health and social relationships are crucial in determining whether we truly thrive. Spotting toxic relationships and navigating them can be challenging, but today’s guests offer valuable insights on assessing the relationships in our lives and reclaiming our health.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with guests about the profound impact of toxic relationships on our physical and mental health.

Dr. Ramani delves into why staying in toxic relationships is a major public health issue that often goes unspoken. She shares insights into the diseases she’s observed in patients linked to toxic relationships, the rapid healing that can occur after leaving them, and the damaging cycle of self-blame individuals face when dealing with a narcissist.

Vanessa Van Edwards explores how to assess our inner circle, recognize the effects of ambivalent relationships, and identify key red flags of ambivalence. She also highlights the traits of a master communicator and offers tips on how to use those skills as an invitation to clarify intentions.

Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a licensed clinical psychologist, Professor Emerita of Psychology at California State University Los Angeles, and the Founder and CEO of LUNA Education, Training & Consulting. She discusses narcissism on her popular YouTube channel and social media, her popular online program on healing from narcissistic abuse, and as the host of the podcast Navigating Narcissism with Dr. Ramani.

Vanessa Van Edwards is a multi-time bestselling author and renowned behavioral researcher on professional communication and leadership. Vanessa’s work has been featured in national and international media and to audiences in workshops worldwide.
