Spotting the Signs of Toxic Relationships Before It’s Too Late
Description
Toxic relationships don’t always start with obvious abuse; they often build gradually through subtle manipulation, control, and emotional harm. Feelings of love, infatuation, or dependency can make it easy to overlook or excuse red flags, while cultural narratives and media portrayals sometimes normalise unhealthy behaviours.
In this episode, we explore how to recognise early warning signs—such as isolation, jealousy, gaslighting, or emotional blackmail—and the importance of self-worth and boundaries. Listeners will gain tools to assess their relationships, know when to seek help, and understand that leaving a toxic relationship is not failure but an act of self-preservation.
