How to recognise normalised dysfunction: Signs you're accepting toxic behaviour without realising it
Send us a text
Have you ever left a social gathering feeling drained, anxious, or doubting yourself, and assumed it was normal?
In this episode of Things We Say in Therapy, we explore normalised dysfunction: the toxic behaviours we learn to tolerate in friendships, families, and workplaces without even realising it.
You’ll learn:
- What normalised dysfunction is and why it happens
- The psychological concepts behind it (hedonic adaptation, normalcy bias, attachment patterns)
- Signs your friends, family, or workplace may be harming your self-esteem
- How to listen to your body’s signals instead of your self-doubt
- How to set boundaries, recognise patterns, and rebuild self-trust
- Journal prompts and self-reflection questions to help you identify toxic environments in your own life
This episode will help you uncover toxic patterns in your relationships, and what to do next.
