#252 The Vending Machine

from It’s Not Normal It’s Toxic: Rid Your Life of Toxic People · host Dr. Heidi

Take the Toxicity Profile Analysis https://coachingwithdrheidi.base44.app/ToxicityProfileAnalysis Apply to become an exclusive “Freedom…Me!” Client:https://drheidischeduleme.as.me/schedule/dddd1d6eToday, Dr. Heidi continues to explore the dynamics of toxic relationships, particularly focusing on how individuals with toxic personalities view others as mere resources for emotional support. She introduces the concept of the 'vending machine' dynamic, where the toxic person only engages when they need something, leading to emotional abuse and control. Dr. Heidi emphasizes the importance of recognizing these patterns and taking steps to protect oneself from falling into the vending machine trap. Dr Heidi knows it can feel extreme to ask for help, at least it did for her. Maybe one of her service offerings would feel less extreme, and would be totally confidential. Let her experience be your secret weapon.https://coachingwithdrheidi.com/
