EP 545: Elizabeth Overstreet – How to Break the Cycle of Toxic Relationships

How do you define a toxic or unhealthy relationship?

Toxic relationships look like a relationship where you can’t be yourself, you are walking on eggshells. Or you’re physically or emotionally abused. Someone has addiction issues but they’re not addressing them. 

Why do people stay in unhealthy relationships?

Some people have grown up without healthy relationships, so they don’t realize what’s possible. I take my clients through an exercise to understand their relationship with their caregivers. Was your parent an alcoholic? This can lead to a codependent relationship.

When you realize that you’re a rescuer, you can change your habits.

There’s spiritual, sexual, emotional, physical and sexual aspects to a relationship. The reason toxicity occurs is because our development in different areas of romantic relationships is less mature or stunted.

What are some signs of a healthy relationship?

Healthy relationships are about people committing to the process of being in the relationship, learning about each other, and healthy conflict. It’s about mutual respect. Attack the problem, not the person. 

Why do healthy relationships sometimes feel boring?

Many people are used to drama, fighting and making up, and that feels like passion. When you’re in a healthy relationship, there’s consistency, which can feel boring. It’s up to you to bring the fun and excitement to a healthy relationship.

What are some tips to help people break the cycle of toxic relationships?

Awareness is first. Second, find resources and support to pull yourself out of this pattern. Hire a professional who can give you an objective viewpoint, not a friend. It’s hard to do it yourself. It’s similar to breaking any addiction.

What are your final tips for anyone who wants to go on their last first date?

Don’t give up. Give yourself grace. Find support if you’re in a toxic relationship. You don’t have to do it alone. One day at a time. Incremental change lasts!
