Signs of a Toxic Relationship

When John works with his clients in coaching sessions one topic that often arises is the difficulty in finding and achieving an easy and  healthy relationship. This is most likely because they are exhibiting habits that attract them to a particular pattern of behaviour that they are used to. How do we realise that it is actually ourselves that are maintaining and seeking these toxic relationships and break the cycle?   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Often our choice of relationship is a subconscious choice that fulfils our needs based on our learnt patterns of behaviour. There are ten signs to look out for that denote that the relationship you have chosen is really not good for you. Is being around someone hard work or draining? Do you need to recover from time with them? Do you need to be careful around your partner to avoid upsetting or angering them? Do you feel exhausted and drained a lot of the time? Do you invest love and attention to your partner that is not returned? Try taking the relationship questionnaire listed under valuable resources below.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘For example, that loving, caring relationships are not to be trusted because love is always removed from them at some point. If that’s your belief then you will seek out the evidence to make this true every single time and won’t know what to do with yourself if it doesn’t happen.’ ‘Does being alone for the weekend put a smile on your face? Do you feel excited looking forward to the day that you’ll get away from your partner? If so then this is a huge red flag.’ ‘If its reached the point that you have to constantly watch every move you make, you are in a toxic relationship. So, for example, you may feel nervous talking about something that may make your partner angry.’   ‘If you try to take time for yourself to recharge and its not allowed, you can’t regain your energy.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES   To take the test for signs of a toxic relationship: https://signsofatoxicrelationshipjkc.scoreapp.com/   To get in touch - email – [email protected]  or book a complimentary call – https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min     If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer   Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min   The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy           ABOUT THE HOST   I am John Kenny, The Relationship Guy - Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.   Having spent a life choosing unhealthy relationships and self sabotaging my own success, I now coach people to live a life they choose.     CONTACT METHOD   Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/johnkennycoaching
