Managing Toxic Relationships

What can you do if your family relationships are toxic? Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes psychotherapist Sharon Martin for a discussion on sensitive women cutting family ties so you can heal.

“Being angry is very both natural and helpful in a situation. When you have been mistreated, you should feel angry about that.”
— Sharon Martin

Highly sensitive persons can have a hard time letting go of harmful relationships. When those toxic relationships involve parents or other family members, cutting ties can be especially painful. Between our empathy for others and the pressure that others put on us to preserve family ties, stepping away can be incredibly difficult—but it can be so necessary for our self-care. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a soul guide for highly sensitive women, welcomes psychotherapist and author Sharon Martin, DSW, LCSW, back to the podcast to talk about the issues that can make setting hard boundaries with toxic family members so challenging, options for navigating those boundaries and what it can feel like to heal and move on.
