Breaking Free: Recognising and Escaping Toxic Love
We teach people how to treat us. If you want to get married and have kids and you're dating someone who doesn't, that is eventually going to become a toxic relationship.
Have you ever found yourself in a relationship that leaves you feeling more drained than cherished? Laura Richer dives into this very issue in her thought-provoking episode of 'On the Verge'. She unpacks the telltale signs of toxic love relationships and why they can be so damaging to our self-esteem, even long after they’ve ended. But why do we stay in these harmful cycles?
Laura sheds light on the emotional traps and anxieties that keep us stuck, and more importantly, how we can break free. Through her engaging and empathetic approach, Laura guides listeners on how to identify these toxic dynamics and make the conscious decision to leave them behind. One key takeaway is that we teach others how to treat us, and setting clear boundaries is essential for a healthy relationship.
She also explores how past traumas can influence our present choices and stresses the importance of healing before seeking new connections. Laura doesn’t just leave it at identifying the problem; she offers practical solutions too. Hypnotherapy and coaching are highlighted as powerful tools to uncover deep-seated issues and take actionable steps towards a better life. By addressing what's lurking in our subconscious, hypnotherapy can help us understand why we cling to dysfunctional relationships.
Coaching, on the other hand, provides the roadmap for achieving our goals and making lasting changes. For anyone feeling trapped in a toxic relationship or seeking to understand why they keep falling into similar patterns, this episode is a must-listen. Laura’s wisdom and warmth offer not just hope but concrete steps towards creating loving, supportive relationships that truly nourish the soul.
