Are you feeling crazy after a breakup? The intense emotional upheaval that follows breaking up with a manipulative partner is insane. Many people find themselves questioning their sanity and grapple with self-blame and confusion—emotions often amplified by their ex-partners' toxic behaviors.

This episode explores the cycle of manipulation. I explore a few key concepts:

• Shifting Blame: Toxic partners frequently evade accountability by shifting blame onto their victims.
• Emotional Chaos: They maintain control through creating an environment filled with emotional chaos.
• Unclear Boundaries: These partners often blur relationship boundaries, making it difficult for victims to understand what constitutes acceptable behavior.

Do toxic relationships make you mirror abusive behaviors?

In this episode, I explore a common question: am I just like them? I explore whether living with a narcissist or emotionally abusive partner can make us react in ways that feel out of character, just to survive.

Key Takeaways:
- Understanding reactive abuse and why it happens.
- Strategies for setting boundaries with yourself and others.
- The importance of recognizing your triggers and maintaining your individuality.

Tune in to learn how to navigate these challenging situations without losing yourself.
