Did your ex say sorry only to do the same things to hurt and upset you over and over again? The cycle of hurt and apology often leads to feelings of self-doubt and loss of trust. And the impact of the ongoing uncertainty you endured really can be profound, even after the end of a relationship. If you can relate to this, I would like to invite you to my 6-week online support group for women who want to heal from their toxic relationship.

These examples from Dr. Brittney Chesworth (@drbrittneychesworth) on TikTok of how to respond to passive aggressive communication are so helpful. How do you handle passive aggression? Do you find yourself reacting to their tone or are you able to brush it off? Let me know in the comments. #AllThingsRelationship #PassiveAggressive #CommunicationSkills

You can let go of your toxic relationship even though you still love your ex. Here’s how. Recognize the toxicity of the relationship. This may mean acknowledging that your partner has been abusive, controlling, or manipulative, and that these behaviors are not acceptable. Seek support from others. The aftermath of a toxic relationship can be a lonely experience, and it's important to seek support from others. This can be a therapist or counselor, a support group, or close friends or family members. Seeking support can provide comfort and validation, and can help you to process your emotions and develop healthy coping skills. Cut off contact with your ex. This means no more phone calls, texts, or social media interactions. It may be difficult at first, but cutting off contact will give you the space and distance you need to heal and move on. Practice self-compassion. This means being kind and understanding towards yourself, recognizing that you are not to blame for the toxic behavior of your ex, and that you deserve to be happy and healthy. Focus on your own happiness and well-being. Set goals, pursue your interests and passions, and build a support network of people who care about you. Focusing on your own happiness and well-being will help you to heal and move forward in a healthy and positive way. Need some support?

These 8 phrases might appear innocuous at first because they’ve become so normalized in relationships. But here’s why they’re so toxic. "Give me an example." Unless this is a request coming from a place of genuine curiosity telling someone to give you an example is challenging them to prove their experience. "I know, but…" If they’re saying ‘but’ it probably means they’re not actually acknowledging what you’ve said. "This again?!" This tells the other person that they don’t think it’s something worthy of discussion. "I'm sorry you feel that way." This isn’t an apology, it’s shifting the blame to the other person. "That's nothing to be upset about." Saying there’s nothing to be upset about completely dismisses the other person’s feelings. "My [friend's/brother's/boss partner doesn't care about this." Not only is this irrelevant but it’s also an unhealthy way to approach a feelings and experiences in a relationship. "You need to let it go!" The phrase can halt any progress in working through a relationship problem. "Just calm down..." This makes the other person feeling like they’re ‘too much’ and that they’re feelings aren’t valid. How many of these phrases have you been on the receiving end of? #AllThingsRelationship #ToxicRelationships #ToxicRelationship

It’s true that we should be mindful when picking our partners or friends BUT sometimes the person who inspired you becomes the one who drains you. Toxic people rarely show their true colors from the beginning. Instead, the damaging or abusive behavior creeps in over time, building up until the relationship looks completely different from how it started. And that’s not your fault. Have you ever been in that situation? #AllThingsRelationship #ToxicRelationships #AbusiveRelationships
Can you relate to this heavy weight of guilt and responsibility for your toxic ex partner’s negative behavior? Quote/excerpt from: https://www.redonline.co.uk/wellbeing/sex-relationships/a34449641/leaving-a-toxic-relationship/ #AllThingsRelationship #ToxicRelationship #ToxicRelationshipSurvivor P.S. It’s not unusual to still feel guilty after leaving a toxic relationship. If you’re in this situation stay tuned for the new program I’m launching very soon!
If you can relate to this feeling, please know that you have always deserved better. #AllThingsRelationship #ToxicRelationships #ToxicRelationship
Had to share this really interesting post from @your.being explaining the differences in how securely and insecurely attached people might respond to triggers. Hint: They all center largely around regulating emotions in order to respond instead of react. Do you recognize any of these secure or insecure traits in yourself? #AllThingsRelationship #AttachmentStyles #SecureAttachment
Next time you find yourself willing your partner to change in some way, why not try this instead? Step 1: Take a moment to acknowledge that beyond clearly communicating your wants, needs and desires, you can't make your partner change. Step 2: Recognize that although you don't get to choose their words, actions or behavior, you do get to choose yours! Step 3: Reflect on how you have been showing up in your relationship. Are you loving your partner in the way they need to be loved? Are you communicating openly and clearly with them? What could you do in the next week or month to be a better partner? When you focus on being the best person you can be in your relationship, you might be pleasantly surprised by how your partner's behavior changes. Save this post as a reminder. #AllThingsRelationship #HealthyRelationship Note: This post doesn't apply to abusive relationships.
Up to 77% of people share this common fear - are you one of them? Some of us feel nervous and uneasy at the thought and others experience full-on panic. What am I referring to? Glossophobia - or a fear of public speaking. If this sounds like you, I think you'll enjoy this tuneful TED Talk by Joe Kowan about how he overcame his stage fright.
