Many people experience toxic relationships. What do psychologists think about this?
What is a toxic relationship
Toxic relationships are those where people do not respect each other's personal boundaries and practice deception, manipulation, insults and humiliation.
This usually happens because the person has never had an example of a healthy relationship and behaves the way adults did in childhood.
The problem with this type of relationship is that both people have major problems with communication and emotional intelligence.
Children from dysfunctional families have difficulty recognizing their emotions, feelings and needs.
When a person does not understand himself well, understanding others is even more difficult.
Toxic relationships are characterized by ignoring requests, needs, passive aggression, and blaming each other.
In such relationships, both partners act as victims and endlessly shift responsibility onto each other.
How to fix a toxic relationship

The main thing is that both people are interested in this.
Toxic relationships can change through self-improvement.
This requires partners to draw conclusions, change their behavior patterns, and admit their mistakes and guilt.
