Understanding Toxic Relationships

A toxic relationship is characterized by patterns of behavior that are emotionally or physically harmful. These relationships often involve manipulation, control, and abuse, leaving the abused individual feeling trapped and powerless. The effects of toxic relationships can be long-lasting and detrimental to one's mental health.

The Impact of Toxic Relationships

Being in a toxic relationship can lead to a range of negative emotions and symptoms, including anxiety and depression. The constant manipulation and invalidation experienced in such relationships can erode self-esteem and self-worth, leaving individuals feeling isolated and hopeless.
