Four renowned experts unpack why we stay in toxic relationships and reveal the hidden psychological patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of emotional dependency. Bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert shares her journey from love addiction to emotional sobriety, discovering how finding a higher power led to deeper self-acceptance. Psychologist Dr. Guy Winch reveals why early relationship patterns become like cement - moldable at first but quickly hardening into permanent dynamics. Relationship experts Matthew Hussey and Sadia Khan explore why we stay in unhealthy relationships, how fear drives us to lower our standards, and the critical importance of communicating deal-breakers before committing. Together, these four perspectives illuminate the path from toxic patterns to thriving relationships through self-awareness, boundaries, and emotional maturity.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why self-care isn't just self-indulgence, but a "deeply humanitarian public service" that makes us safer for others to be around
• How to identify and communicate deal-breakers early in relationships to prevent future conflict
• The danger of entering relationships from a scarcity mindset and how it leads to compromising standards
• Why emotional wounds require the same careful attention and treatment as physical injuries
• The importance of developing emotional regulation and selecting partners who encourage healthy boundaries
