Most of us have experienced a familiar pattern of difficulties following a realization that a relationship is not working. In more severe situations those challenges involved in trying to end a toxic relationship may even include elements of psychological trauma and/or outright fear of physical danger.
Psychology Today has published a clear, down-to-earth article to help individuals who may have decided the time has come to sever ties, but feel sorely ill-equipped to start the difficult process, or follow it through to a healthy resolution.
“5 Ways to End a Bad Relationship for Good”, by Juliana Breines, PhD, provides expert advice on moving on, and convincing yourself that it’s the right thing to do. Follow the link:
