I love your voice. I love the message. Followed you on Instagram but I knew the longer content is here. I forwarded this link to many friends even to my daughter who started a new journey with her husband. Thanks for the "wish list".
I keep trying to tell my partner this stuff and it turns into an major disagreement, he says I need to stop listening to people on the "internet" i think this relationship has grown past it's due date. He has a hard time letting me go, i have a major hard time not reconnecting with him after I try to walk away... 🥴 I really want a healthy relationship that I can actually continue to grow with. Any suggestions?
It all sounded good. Then I really thought about it and felt really negative about the word TOXIC used so many times. Two people come together to start a relationship in the trust and hope that it is going to work, I think most people put there heart and soul into a relationship to make it work. It is the saddest time when you keep trying and it just doesn't work out. To use the word TOXIC, I almost find offensive, inappropriate and too easy.
Hey Sally, toxic is not a term we use to reference two people with good intentions. A relationship is unhealthy when it draws more emotional energy than it returns. A relationship is toxic when it's a constant drain involving one-sided dynamics, typically with a narcissist. The term "toxic" is thrown around casually quite often, but it's still an important term because many relationship dynamics are indeed toxic. From clinical work it's quickly apparent that many people don't put their heart and soul into a relationship, in fact many go into it intending to manipulate. What I'm curious about though was I just rewatched this video and I didn't even hear the word "toxic" be used let alone be used "so many times." Second, are you maybe sensitive to the word because of a negative personal experience behind the term?
Thank you for your reply, I still don't think it is a helpful word. It was from your 12 week relationship podcast. You talk about a past relationship being toxic, I hope your ex has the good sense not to be curious and listen in. I just think we all need to be kinder. Narcissists, struggle more than most thats why they are how they are. I draw a line, thank you for your work.
These two have the secret to discovering what really makes all relationships work!
Thank you! We definitely feel like we have something special to add to the conversation. Hope you enjoy!
