Toxic Relationship
Toxic, toxic, toxic! This word is everywhere! But what does a toxic relationship really look like and how does it impact you? In healthy relationships there is mutual caring, respect, compassion, emotional support, and the relationship feels like a safe environment for both parties physically and emotionally. There is a shared desire to see each other happy and you work together to do things to help one another, not harm one another. On the flip side, toxic relationships are basically the opposite. There can be physical and verbal abuse. There is damage done to self esteem and it is plagued with insecurity, self-centeredness, and control. There is no mutual caring as one or both partners care mostly about themselves and their needs. Toxic relationships aren’t just romantic. Toxic relationships can be between a parent and child, siblings, extended family, friends, co-workers, or anyone you have a relationship with. You don’t have to be in a toxic relationship! Through counseling and/or coaching I work to help you know your worth, determine what changes need to be made in your relationships, and most importantly, I help you implement those changes.
Services consist of an assessment session where I gather all the information needed and work with you to determine your needs. Individual sessions will follow until your goals are complete. Email support may be given in between sessions. I believe that Services should only be given as needed and once clients have reached their goals, services should be ended (so no dragging things out)
