In this powerful episode, psychotherapist Dr. Aletha Clark dives deep into the complex and often painful world of toxic relationships. You’ll learn how to recognize the subtle signs of toxicity—especially in romantic relationships—how love bombing and manipulation create emotional confusion, and why so many of us unconsciously fall into these harmful patterns. We’ll explore the emotional and physical toll of staying in toxic dynamics and, most importantly, how to begin the process of setting boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and walking away with clarity and strength.
You’ll also hear what healthy relationships should look like and get access to journal prompts and healing tools to support your next step. Whether you’re navigating a toxic relationship now or healing from one in the past, this episode will give you insight, validation, and hope.
