EP. 23: Breaking Toxic Relationship Patterns & Learning How to Love Intentionally

from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel

Many people don’t think they have toxic relationship patterns, but they do. I see it all the time! And toxic relationship patterns can look like so many different things. For example, it can look like you two are having the same fight over and over again without ever finding a solution. Or it can be one person shutting down, and the other person constantly pursuing their partner, trying to get them to open up. But at the end of the day, nothing you’re doing is working, and you don’t know why. The relationship doesn’t have to be terrible for it to have toxic patterns. You could be a happy, healthy couple 80% of the time. But then that 20% throws a wrench in your entire day, and you end up feeling alone, and maybe like it’s your fault. The problem isn’t you, it’s how you approach your relationship issues. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about breaking toxic relationship patterns and learning how to love intentionally. You know that your relationship is worth working on. That 80% goodness is proof that you two have something special. Now you just need to work through these toxic relationship patterns and replace them with healthier ones.
