Ep.68 It's Not Normal, It's Toxic: Choosing Yourself Over an Unhealthy Relationship

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Do you ever wonder why a particular relationship that you have is so darned difficult? If you sometimes ask yourself if the relationship is unhealthy for you, then maybe it's time to assess the situation. Being walked on, devalued, or feeling stuck can be demoralizing, and worse yet, if we let things go too long, we can develop emotional abuse fatigue.
These relationships can be confusing, because they may not be bad all the time. So at what point do we decide, for our own emotional health and wellbeing, that we need set boundaries or walk away altogether?
Toxic relationship specialist, Dr. Heidi Brocke, walked the path, struggled, learned, healed, and recovered from an emotionally abusive relationship. Now she is here to help you do the same. Heidi is a coach, and she also has a top-ranked podcast called It's Not Normal, It's Toxic: Rid Your Life of Toxic People.
In this episode Heidi and I discuss:
- Her journey to finally walking away from her emotional abuser
- How to define a toxic relationship and what the red flags are
- Family and workplace toxicity
- What the recovery process looks like
- Getting help in order to be able to make a clean break
