The psychologist talked about the reasons for entering into a toxic relationship

Tension often reigns inside a toxic relationship, and partners cannot be themselves. Psychologist Kristina Tishchenko told about this on Saturday, May 17.

"You live in anxiety more than in peace. You're afraid more often than you breathe. You lose touch with yourself — you no longer understand who you are, what you want, where your boundaries are. The partner controls, devalues, manipulates," the psychologist explained in an interview with the newspaper.Ru».

According to her, sometimes we ourselves deny for a long time that something truly destructive is happening inside the relationship. When people find themselves in such a relationship, it's not about stupidity or naivety, it's about the psyche.

Many have been taught since childhood that one must be patient, that aggression is not a danger at all, but a bad mood, misunderstanding or something insignificant, explained Tishchenko.

According to the psychologist, it is possible to get out of a toxic relationship, but for this you must first recognize the problem.

"Stop waiting for salvation. And you're not a lifeguard. The union is built on reciprocity, not on hope. In search of a magician, we run the risk of meeting a storyteller," the psychologist emphasized.
