If you find yourself hopping from disaster to disaster or just surviving in an unhappy marriage or relationship, then it’s time to own up to it and take action.
Why do we keep falling into the same toxic relationships? Relationship expert Elizabeth Overstreet has some answers. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, Elizabeth sits down with host Omar Pinto to dig into the patterns that keep us stuck in unhealthy relationships and how we can break free. If you find yourself moving from one disastrous relationship to another or stuck in an unhappy marriage, it might be time to look inward.
Elizabeth emphasizes that recognizing our own behaviors is the first step towards change. She talks about the importance of understanding our patterns and the internal dialogue that keeps us trapped. Changing this dialogue is crucial to building healthier relationships. Elizabeth also highlights the role of communication in relationships. It’s not just about talking but also listening and understanding your partner’s perspective. She discusses how miscommunication can lead to misunderstandings and further toxicity.
Elizabeth touches on the topic of narcissism and how it can complicate relationships. She explains that once the initial excitement fades, people often revert to their old habits, leading to conflict. To break free from these patterns, Elizabeth suggests focusing on what you have and being present in the moment. She also introduces the concept of conscious uncoupling, where couples work together to end their relationship amicably with the help of a mediator.
This approach helps in reducing the dysfunction and emotional turmoil often associated with breakups. Elizabeth stresses the importance of self-work before entering a new relationship. By understanding and improving ourselves, we can attract healthier partners and build stronger relationships. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with toxic relationships and codependency. Elizabeth Overstreet provides practical advice on becoming aware of your patterns, changing your internal dialogue, and building healthier relationships.
