Is my relationship toxic? How to see the signs.  

Today is a special episode as Executive Director of Care to Change, April Bordeau, talks about toxic relationships. It’s a hot topic right now, and she wanted to give a special episode of some of the signs of a toxic relationship. She also offers practical solutions for positive change if you recognize any of the signs listed. 

Toxic traits can include:

  • Gaslighting 
  • Projection 
  • Moving the Goal Post 
  • Inducing Stress to Relieve The Stress 
  • Silent Treatment 
  • Blame Game 
  • Love Bombing 
  • Playing the Victim 
  • Denial 
  • Playing the Hero 
  • Lying or Exaggerating 
  • Guilt Tripping 
  • Baiting  

Special recognition given to Cindy Lee of the Halo Project, for collecting these into one succinct list explained in her group called Making Sense of Your Worth.
