Ep. 425: Healing From Relationship PTSD

We talk a lot about the struggles of being stuck in an unhealthy or toxic relationship—and rightfully so—but there isn’t much being said about how hard it can be in your first relationship after something toxic. Old triggers die hard, and even if your new boo hasn’t done anything to give you concern, you might still be holding on to anxiety and hyper-vigilance from your past. Or even worse—you could be attracting the same type of unhealthy relationship over and over again. For better or for worse, you can’t run from the past, so you’ll have to heal one way or another. We’re with you every step of the way, Bestie.
