Podcasts about toxic relationships

Join us for an insightful conversation with Kristin Cogan, a seasoned therapist and coach, as we explore the critical coping skills every overwhelmed mom needs. We understand the pressures you face, from navigating family court to co-parenting with a difficult ex, and Kristin is here to help. Discover the importance of celebrating small wins and managing overwhelming stress, which can easily become a lifestyle. Kristin introduces the "54321" grounding technique, a powerful tool designed to help you reconnect with your body and reduce anxiety by focusing on the present moment. By identifying things you can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste, this method can shift your nervous system from distress to a state of calmness.Listen in as we also uncover empowering techniques for emotional regulation in high-stress situations involving an ex or an anxious child. Kristin emphasizes the significance of creating emotional distance by taking intentional pauses before responding to triggering communications. Through affirmations and small actions, we can retrain our brains and provide grounding for ourselves. We also discuss the impact of parental anxiety on children and the importance of breaking intergenerational cycles of stress. Self-care is paramount, as parents often prioritize their children's needs over their own. By committing to the hard work of managing emotions, parents can better support their children and foster healthier family dynamics.

This week, I'm sharing a private Q&A episode usually reserved for my Patreon and Substack members. I wanted to make this one public because it speaks to something so many survivors struggle with: the pull of the trauma bond, the shame that lingers, and the confusion around whether someone has truly changed.In this episode, I answer two powerful listener questions:1️⃣ How do I stop the shame and craving when I'm still trauma bonded? 2️⃣ How do I know if my ex is really changing — or if it's just the cycle repeating itself?We talk about what's really happening in your body when you crave the “good version” of them, how to starve the cycle without starving yourself, and how to recognize when “healing language” is being used as another form of manipulation.If this episode resonates, there's a whole archive of private Q&As, coaching deep dives, and exclusive content waiting for you on Patreon and Substack. You can submit your own questions, join private discussions, and get access to extended episodes and strategy sessions I don't share anywhere else.

In toxic relationships, when people show you who they are, you need to believe them. But, we often don't. We give them the benefit of the doubt again and again. We believe their lies by gaslighting ourselves. And, we doubt that they could really be that bad. This gets us in all kinds of stressful dysfunctional relationship dynamics because they haven't changed, are who they are, and don't care how we are affected.  We do this because of the invalidation we are accustomed to in toxic relationships. It is for these reasons that we have to trust ourselves.  Watch this video to find out how you can get to the place that when people show you who they are, you believe them. When you do, they will prove you are right, instead of wrong.  #toxicrelationship #invalidation #gaslight #dysfunctionalrelationship   Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5BFVBimFgk8

Send us a textPressure has a way of revealing what systems are really made of. We start with a bruising week and widen the lens: from alleged deodorant burns and the surge in hair relaxer lawsuits, to NHS resident doctors preparing to strike for pay and staffing, to the silent epidemic of “polite” horrible bosses who weaponise calm and call it leadership. The through line is accountability—of brands, employers, and all of us—to act with care when our choices touch other people's bodies, budgets, and futures.I share why our website will go offline briefly as we rebuild the back end, refresh masterclasses, and add guidance on using AI well. Too many of us try to outsource thinking to ChatGPT and get caught out; I'll show you how to use AI as an assistant, not a replacement. We speak frankly about the real cost of creating quality products as a small business, why discounts aren't a birthright, and how fair pricing keeps the lights on. If you love great stationery and practical career tools, you'll see how that vision is taking shape.Then we get tactical about work. The shouty boss is out; the nice-nasty manager is in. They smile, check on wellbeing, and quietly move the goalposts. Here's how to protect yourself: keep a burn folder, track patterns, mirror the politeness while holding firm boundaries, and use precise language when you push back. Employment protections are expanding, but your evidence is the bridge between harm and remedy. I also open up about ADHD and dyslexia—time blindness, memory gaps, and the systems that help me build: tightly scoped lists, device-based reminders, visual planners, and long blocks for deep work.We close with a sober look at a fatal hit-and-run and the duty that comes with a licence: if you're impaired, don't drive; if you hit anything or anyone, stop.

Trauma bonds aren't about shared hardship or difficult experiences. They're cycles of abuse and relief that hook your brain and body like an addiction. That's why it feels impossible to just “get over it.”In this episode, I break down what trauma bonding really is—and what it isn't. I talk about how intermittent reinforcement keeps survivors stuck, why naming it matters, and why treating it like an addiction can open a path back to yourself.You'll hear practical ways to start loosening the bond, even if you're not ready for big steps yet. Whether that means muting their social media, setting one small boundary, or shifting your focus back to your own needs, this episode is here to remind you: you're not crazy, you're trauma bonded—and you can begin to reclaim your power one choice at a time.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

https://enlighteninglife.com/toxic-family-new-energy-community/ For 15 years I have been talking about how we are creating space for our energetic family and we have been seeing examples of that happening. Whether it has fully happened for you yet, is just a matter of time. Like a slowly approaching tide, the truth that we have been trying our best to avoid is here.For decades and lifetimes we have been working hard to bring our karma group to the light. These are the people you can ‘family' in this lifetime. And for decades and lifetimes they have resisted our efforts, often in devastating ways. But we are at an energetic crossroads and it is time to make a decision that will change our lives from this moment forward.The karma ties that bind us to the people we call our family, the biological ties that we assume to also imply emotional commitment, are unraveling and with it, the dawning realization that we can no longer bring light to people who prefer to be in the dark.The illusion of family that we have held for so long through our sole efforts is crumbling beneath the weight of the darkness we thought we had to endure to fulfill this mission. In its place we will form energetic families, our 5D communities, people who are aligned with us energetically, who truly ‘love, honor, and respect' us. People who can appreciate us and who value who we are, our light, and our efforts.On an emotional level this can be difficult. On an energetic level, though, it is something whose time has come.If you have been frustrated, saddened, and even traumatized by people who do not value you, who dismiss, betray, abandon, and reject you, a change is coming. It means that you will have to abandon some dreams and goals while simultaneously welcoming others. It is not a time to grieve – you have done your best to achieve the impossible. Instead, celebrate your release from the commitments that have bound you to lifetimes of sacrifice while enjoying the change that will come from having relationships that are easy, fun, fulfilling, and joyful.read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2025 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

Control in an abusive relationship often hides behind the illusion of change. They might say the words you've been waiting to hear—"I know I hurt you," "I'm working on myself"—but without real accountability, it's not growth. It's performance.This episode unpacks how shame drives manipulative behavior, why false accountability keeps you trapped, and how tactics like gaslighting, projection, and DARVO are used to destabilize you. It also explores the difference between genuine conflict resolution and the subtle ways control masquerades as care, calmness, or insight.If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling like your pain became the problem, you'll learn how to spot the pattern, trust your reality, and start reclaiming your clarity.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Family court is a system that doesn't run on empathy — and that can be one of the hardest realities for survivors to face. In this episode, I share the lessons I've learned about communicating with attorneys while navigating years of custody battles and post-separation abuse.You'll hear why sending every message, email, or update in real time can backfire, how to frame patterns in a way that lawyers and judges can't ignore, and what it means to “play chess instead of checkers” when you're up against an abusive ex. I also talk about the impossible balancing act survivors are forced into: document everything, but don't be “too emotional.”If you've ever felt dismissed, minimized, or like your lawyer just doesn't get it, this conversation will give you strategies to shift how you present your case — without abandoning your truth.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

A Double Life Exposed — and a Mission to Save Others.Today's guests have a story that sounds like a Lifetime movie — but every word of it is true.

A Double Life Exposed — and a Mission to Save Others.Today's guests have a story that sounds like a Lifetime movie — but every word of it is true. Deana and Lizzie were both married to the same narcissist, a man who they discovered was leading a double life, while leaving a trail of emotional and financial destruction behind him. But instead of staying silent, they teamed up — not just to expose him, but to help other women spot the warning signs before it's too late.

This powerful hypnotic meditation guides you to energetically release toxic partners, reclaim your self-worth, and reconnect to your true values.

What if setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away — but about finally choosing yourself? In this powerful and deeply relatable conversation, Harvard-trained clinical psychologist Dr. Sabrina Romanoff joins Surviving Roots host Cari Fund to unpack the hidden patterns that shape our relationships — from friendship breakups and people-pleasing to the repetition of childhood wounds in our adult lives. Together they explore: Why boundaries are acts of preservation, not rejection. How self-abandonment begins in childhood — and how to stop repeating it. The psychology behind friendship breakups and envy. What “getting comfortable in the uncomfortable” really looks like. How to know if someone is a battery or a generator in your life. Why guilt can actually be a sign of healing. Whether you're untangling toxic dynamics or learning to stand in your worth, this episode will help you reconnect with the version of yourself you've been betraying just to keep the peace. ✨ Connect with Dr. Sabrina Romanoff: @drsabrinaromanoff

In this soothing 10-minute guided meditation, Meg Daly gently leads you through a healing visualization to release the energetic cords of a toxic relationship. Settle into stillness as you journey into a sacred space of light and peace, where forgiveness replaces fear and your heart reclaims its freedom. Through imagery, breath, and intention, you'll learn to cut the cords of attachment with love — not resistance — and call your energy back home to your body, your spirit, and your calm. This meditation is perfect for anyone who's ready to let go of an unhealthy connection, release lingering emotional residue, and restore balance to the heart. Let this episode be your sacred pause — a reminder that closure doesn't always come from another person, but from within you.

Do you constantly overthink, overcommit, or over-care about things that drain your energy?
