Podcasts about toxic relationships

On this episode of Ask, Tell, Confess, the conversation shifts from lighthearted to heavy real fast. The crew starts off joking about filming projects in the same outfits until January, before moving into some intense and emotional Tell submissions that stop everyone in their tracks.From there, they dive into real relationship talk—self-love, knowing your worth, and why staying in toxic situations can cost you more than you realize. Of course, it wouldn't be ATC without some chaos along the way, including hilarious parenting moments and a son's wildly inappropriate school assignment. The episode wraps with reflections on school days, personal struggles, and growing through the messy parts of life—honest, emotional, and unapologetically real.Watch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I'm sharing a simple end-of-year practice I've returned to every year since 2017—one that has nothing to do with resolutions, goals, or fixing yourself.It started in a yoga class on New Year's Eve, during a time when my life was quietly falling apart. I was deeply depressed, circling the truth that I needed to leave my marriage, and trying to survive day to day. The exercise was simple: two cards. One for the year you're leaving. One for the year you're stepping into. Not achievements. Not intentions. Just words.I'm walking you through how this practice helped me tell the truth about what a year actually felt like—longing, fear, disconnection, grief—and how naming that reality grounded me instead of shaming me. When you've lived in abuse or survival mode, your inner compass gets scrambled. Your nervous system isn't thinking about the future. It's trying to stay safe. So when people ask about goals or resolutions, everything can freeze.This practice doesn't ask you to know the future. It asks you to tell the truth about the present. Here is the Substack link: https://open.substack.com/pub/jessicaknightcoaching/p/instead-of-resolutions-i-do-this?r=1ecj9w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueSupport 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

What does real healing actually look like and why do so many people repeat the same relationship patterns even after doing the work?In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Sara Al Madani joins me for a deep dive into healing, hitting rock bottom, and breaking free from toxic relationship dynamics that keep us stuck.

Why do gut instincts about toxic people get ignored and talked away despite screaming warnings? Highly sensitive people exhaust themselves doing emotional calculus to predict what's happening in everyone else's heads while energy vampires drain them completely. That intelligent narcissist will never get it no matter how many perfect explanations get presented because low empathy means growth and self reflection stay permanently off the table. Playing small and dimming your light becomes automatic after years of learning that accomplishments make others uncomfortable, so managing everyone's feelings turns into a full time job instead of actually living.

This episode is not about fresh starts, resolutions, or manifesting a better year.It's for the people who feel heavy, uneasy, or scared as the year changes.I'm sharing honestly about what the end of the year felt like for me when my life didn't feel safe—when I was still inside emotionally abusive relationships, even though I didn't have that language yet. I talk about the dread that replaced reflection, the exhaustion of constant self-editing, the panic attacks, the private crying, the way I negotiated my own needs just to keep the peace.There are no tidy lessons here. This episode isn't meant to inspire you to do more or be better.We talk about:Why New Year's can feel threatening instead of hopeful when your life has felt unpredictable or unsafeHow emotional abuse intensifies during holidays and end-of-year reflectionThe slow realization of “I can't keep living like this” and why that isn't failureTrauma bonds, self-doubt, and the moment your body starts telling the truthWhy hope doesn't have to be loud to be realIf the bravest thing you can do right now is stop gaslighting yourself, this episode is for you.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

Leaving a relationship rarely happens in one big, dramatic final moment. Instead it happens discreetly, in the stories you stop sharing, the tension you learn to live with, and the gut feelings you keep pushing away.In this episode, I walk you through six powerful signs your relationship may be coming to an end. Not to convince you to leave, but to help you listen more honestly to yourself about what they may mean. This isn't an episode about giving up on relationships.It's about unlearning the belief that love means enduring at your own expense, and recognising the difference between healthy effort and emotional self-abandonment.If you've ever found yourself thinking, “I don't know if this is bad enough to leave,” or “is this really it?" this conversation is for you.By the end of this episode, my hope is that you feel clearer, more grounded, and more connected to your own truth whatever your next move.With love, always,LouisaSocials, Programs & More from Unlearn with Louisa⁠https://linktr.ee/unlearnwithlouisa⁠Coaching Questions & Enquiriescoaching@unlearnwithlouisa.comPodcast Questions & Enquiriespodcast@unlearnwithlouisa.com

In this powerful episode of She Speaks Life, Jayme Elizabeth sits down with author, speaker, and YouTube teacher Kris Reece to unpack a topic many believers may quietly struggle with: narcissism and toxic relationships.Kris shares the heart behind her book, Breaking the Narcissist's Grip, and how God called her to help believers break free from controlling, manipulative dynamics so they can reclaim the peace, identity, and confidence God intended for them. Kris dives into what narcissism really looks like, why it's more common than we think, and how it shows up in families, marriages, friendships, and even Christian spaces.You'll gain biblical clarity on:The different types of narcissistic traits (including covert narcissism)Why toxic relationships create confusion, self-doubt, and spiritual exhaustionHow codependency and trauma bonds keep people stuckWhat Scripture teaches about confrontation, discernment, and obedienceHow to set healthy, biblical boundaries—and why boundaries don't look the same for every relationshipThe difference between forgiveness, trust, reconciliation, and accessThis conversation will bring validation, wisdom, and hope. Most importantly, it will help you shift your focus off the toxic dynamic and back onto what God wants to heal and restore in your life.✨ Takeaway: You are responsible for obedience—not outcomes. When you stop striving and invite God to do His work, freedom begins.

For those of us who are (or have been):  emotional eaters,  in emotionally abusive or neglectful relationships,  or struggled with your self-worth,  Food, your weight, and people were never the real issues.  *The key problem was the identity you were forced to develop in order to survive.* You learned to abandon your own needs to stay safe, loved, accepted, or chosen.

With infidelity rates climbing by 22% during deployments, Dr. Polinsky unveils the seven distinct types of affairs that can arise, offering a clearer understanding of the underlying motivations. The conversation delves into the immense stress and separation distress that deployments can impose, often leading to emotional disconnection and conflict that may drive individuals to seek solace elsewhere. Her expertise helps listeners navigate the murky waters of self-blame and relationship challenges.As technology bridges the distance between separated partners, it also introduces new dynamics that can inadvertently fuel infidelity. Our discussion touches on how tools like Wi-Fi on military ships enable frequent communication but also open doors for missteps. Dr. Polinsky categorizes affairs into three main types—protest or revenge, "come and get me," and burnout exit—each with its unique emotional drivers. With her guidance, we unravel the complex emotions at play and the potential pitfalls for long-distance and military relationships, offering a roadmap to understanding and addressing these issues.In our final segment, we tackle the intricate psychological factors that often underpin affairs, especially in those with trauma histories or in hyper-masculine professions. We explore the role of compulsive sexual behavior as an escape from emotional pain, drawing connections to childhood experiences that stunt emotional growth. Dr. Polinsky underscores the importance of understanding and patience, highlighting the potential for healing and growth despite the challenges. Through her insights, we aim to inspire hope and foster long-term commitment to change, providing a beacon of hope for those navigating the complexities of infidelity.

Today I've got something really special for you. I recently had an incredible live Instagram session with the amazing Thais Gibson, a true expert on relationships and attachment styles. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you because we dive deep into understanding these vital aspects of how we connect and communicate in our relationships. Thais breaks down the four major attachment styles—securely attached, anxious/preoccupied, dismissive/avoidant, and fearful avoidant—and how each of these shapes our subconscious beliefs about love. We chat about how our childhood experiences mold these styles and the profound impact this has on our adult relationships. I also get a bit personal in this episode, opening up about my own journey and struggles with health and hormones, as well as my path from being dismissive avoidant to becoming securely attached. Thais shares practical strategies for identifying and transforming our attachment patterns, which I found incredibly empowering. And guess what? We even touch on the exciting idea of a dating app based on attachment styles! Plus, we delve into the crucial topics of self-validation and emotional regulation. If you're looking to understand your own attachment style better or hoping to improve your relationships, this episode is jam-packed with actionable insights.

Toxic relationships are full of complex dynamics, unresolved problems, and painful feelings. We react to all those things by trying to fix, control, and change people. Even when it doesn't make sense to hang on, we do. We don't realize that the only choice we have is to let go or be dragged. Whether it is love, guilt, trauma bonding, codependency, or fear, we keep trying to make things right even when it hurts us. We need reminders, assurance and a guide in toxic relationships to make a decision on whether to let go or be dragged.     #toxicrelationships #letgo    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/bE0sA9rzvsA

Have you ever noticed how, in certain seasons of life, several people around you seem to struggle in their relationships all at once? Almost like these things move in waves?Sometimes these couples are good people with good intentions — people who genuinely care, but simply don't have the tools or perspectives to navigate conflict or connection. Those situations are painful, but they're fixable with the right support.And other times… when the situation is not “a rough patch.”It's a bad relationship.There are behaviors that make the relationship feel heavy, tense, or unsafe...And patterns that leave you feeling small, tense, or on edge…And despite the pain, the fear, and the exhaustion — people stay.So the real question is:Why do we stay in relationships that are hurting us? Why do we work so hard to hold onto someone who isn't good for us? Why does being alone feel scarier than staying?In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I break down the three core reasons we stay stuck in toxic or deeply dysfunctional dynamics.These reasons are not about weakness.They're not about failure.They are about psychology, attachment, and emotional survival.And once you understand them, you can finally begin to heal your patterns instead of repeating them.Timestamps:01:35 — A birthday week reflection02:26 — When “good people” struggle in relationships (and why it's fixable)03:20 — When it's more than conflict — it's abuse04:29 — My definition of a toxic relationship05:33 — Why people stay in bad relationships for years06:53 — Reason #1: Anxious attachment11:59 — Reason #2: Trauma bonding15:40 — Reason #3: Fear of abandonment17:57 — How all three lead to low self-esteem19:00 — The stories we tell ourselves to justify staying21:12 — How our programs and events help you heal these patternsTry one change this week:If you're in a relationship that feels painful or stuck, gently ask yourself:“Which of these three patterns am I living out?”Not to shame yourself.Not to force a decision.But to speak the truth to yourself — the first and most essential step in healing.This episode is not about telling you to stay or leave.It's about naming what's real so you can finally choose your next step from clarity instead of fear.If this episode gives you even one moment of recognition or self-compassion, it has done its job.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

On her seventh and latest album, “Cavale,” the award-winning Quebecois artist Cœur de pirate explores her longest and most toxic relationship — with anxiety. She sits down with Tom Power to talk about the record, the cost of fame, and how being “scared of everything” inspired her to write her first new song in two years.

In this episode, I talk about one of the most confusing and insidious forms of manipulation survivors face in high-conflict relationships and co-parenting: Double Speak.It's that moment when control hides behind concern — when an email, message, or conversation sounds calm and reasonable to everyone else, but your body knows something is off. It's when someone says, “I just want what's best for our child,” while taking positions that go directly against your child's needs or the agreements already in place.I break down how Double Speak operates as a tactic of coercive control — how it creates contradiction, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion — and how to start spotting it before you're pulled into another circular argument. I share real-world examples from co-parenting cases, explain how this pattern shows up in court, and offer practical strategies for documenting, responding, and staying grounded when someone twists words to maintain power.If you've ever felt like you were being gaslit by “reasonable” communication, this episode will help you name the manipulation — and reclaim 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

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore toxic relationships, focusing on how to identify and exit them. Rick talks about how positive traits like empathy, loyalty, and a sense of duty can keep us stuck. They then discuss common relationship red flags like lovebombing, cycles of idealization and devaluation, power imbalances, and what Forrest calls “the fuzz.” Finally, they talk about how people can increase their chances of a healthy exit. Other topics include developing self-trust, trauma-bonding, shame, and avoiding the cycle of “maybe next time they'll…” Key Topics:  0:00: Introduction 3:05: Why do good people stay in bad relationships? 10:02: Relationship red flags: the dark triad, devaluation, lovebombing, and the fuzz 24:17: How this shows up in Dr. Rick's practice 39:48: How to get out: building self-trust, increasing your options, and duty to yourself 1:12:33: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

The culture tells us to eliminate "toxic people." Jesus tells us to love our enemies. So what does real Christian charity look like when a relationship is painful, chaotic, or constantly draining? In this week's episode, Dr. Greg tackles one of the most common—and misunderstood—questions Catholics wrestle with: When is it time to set boundaries, and when is it time to stay and suffer with love? Key Topics: Why the issue is often the dynamic—not the person How to love others without losing yourself Why authentic self-care is an act of charity, not selfishness What the Cross reveals about healthy, sacrificial love How limits, space, and boundaries can actually protect love — not weaken it How to tell the difference between loving someone well and enabling unhealthy behavior What interior freedom looks like in messy or emotionally charged relationships How to know when your "yes" is coming from virtue… and when it's coming from fear, guilt, or pressure Learn More: Integrated Life Membership – Looking for steady formation and Christ-centered support?

In the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, we can lose all sense of self. Whether our partner tried to steal our joy at every opportunity, or they wore down our self-esteem with endless arguments and cold-shoulder treatments . . . the end of a relationship like this will leave us feeling disoriented and lost, and it can be hard to rewire our brains and resume normal life once we're free.At this point, it can be unbelievably hard to trust other people again. Logically, we may understand that not everyone's like our ex . . . but emotionally, we see danger at every turn. But there is a way we can heal—so we can move on and learn to trust ourselves again.
