Welcome to another episode of Uncork & Unwind! Today we are unpacking toxic relationships and toxic people. What are classic signs of toxic behaviour? What is gas lighting? How do you get to the other side? We dive deep into self- reflection, forgiveness, healing and how to make sure you don’t repeat history. 

 

TW: Brief discussions of domestic abuse, animal harm, and psychological manipulation. 

 

DISCLAIMER: We are not claiming to be all knowing or even exempt from the behaviours and ideas discussed in this episode. We want to make it abundantly clear that we recognize that not all individuals have equal access to or the ability to seek the different means of ‘help’ that we discussed today.
