Today, we're discussing how to detox from the false beliefs that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns of relating to other people. 

These hidden messages are sneaky. They might sound true in the moment, but they keep us from the healthy two-way relationships we need.

Here's what we discuss:

1. Examples of toxic thinking

2. How it contaminates our relationships

3. An example of toxic thinking from the Bible

4. How to re-frame toxic thoughts

Plus, I answer your questions:

—How do I communicate with other people about what I'm going through? 

—Can spiritual bypassing become a form of numbing?
