We all want to experience love and connection in our lives, but sometimes we find ourselves stuck in toxic relationships that drain our energy, damage our self-esteem, and hold us back from reaching our full potential.

In my previous two posts, I discussed what it feels like to be caged in a toxic relationship as well as the devastating costs of being in one. But how does one know they’re in a toxic relationship?
