On Today's Episode:
The term ‘toxic relationship’ gets thrown around quite often in today’s digital age, but what does it actually mean? How can you truly identify the red flags and warning signs of one? How do you know you’re not the problem in the relationship? On this episode of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu is joined by the world's leading dating advice expert Matthew Hussey to discuss such matters and more as they explore the red flags of a toxic relationship and what to do if you spot them. They discuss why not everything is toxic just because it was labeled as so, why the rationale behind your feelings might be invalid, how to properly approach a breakup, what to do after you’ve broken up, how to heal your trust issues, why you need to be self-aware and self-reflective, why you need to have compassion when approaching your partner, and much more.

QUOTES:
“…when we’re scared, when we’re hurt, when we’re wounded, we have our favorite weapon. Our favorite weapon could be passive aggression. Our favorite weapon could be the silent treatment. Our favorite weapon could be storming off — it could be attacking you. We all have our favorite weapon and I think we often scare people off in relationships not because of our wounds, we scare them off with our weapons.” [7:45]
“You don’t trust that someone’s never going to betray you, you just trust that you’ll be able to handle it if they do.” [27:55]
“It’s very difficult, especially when someone is making us feel like we’re overreacting, to get impartial and to say, “Where is the line between me asking too much and me asking the right amount?” … and sometimes I think people don’t realize they’re toxic because they’re so convinced of their story.” [38:48]
