Do you have that one friend that’s always in a toxic relationship? Is that friend you? This episode is all about red flags, unhealthy dynamics, and some serious introspection. I dive into murky waters with therapists Dr. Carli Blau and Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick (aka Dr. Liz).
Here’s what we get into:
- Are there predictors for ending up in an unhealthy relationship, such as childhood trauma/certain types of attachment wounds, or can anyone end up in an unhealthy relationship?
- What are common behavior patterns that show up for people who have been in emotionally abusive relationships?
- How do you identify and distinguish between a genuine red flag vs. a personal preference?
- How do you talk about previous relationships and/or insecurities with a new partner?
- How do you empathize with your partner while still honoring your needs?
- How can you work through and heal from your own red flags?
Trust me, you’re gonna want to tune in.
