Glow Up Therapeutic Services offers Therapy and Life Coaching to women who are struggling to move on with their lives after a toxic relationship.

​

So, let's be real....Toxic relationships are damaging! They create mental and emotional havoc that spills into other areas of our lives such as career, family, friendships and future romantic relationships. People often think that leaving the realationship is the hardest part and that once you do so your life will magically become better. Well, I'm sorry sis but they lied to you. Yes, leaving is hard as fuc*! And those of us who have been lucky enough to do so, I applaud you because that takes an insurmountable amount of courage and strength! However, now the REAL work begins!

​

Toxic relationships always involve some form of manipulation (among many other things). The purpose of manipulation is to condition and control. Through manipulation tactics, the toxic person will have you believing that you are unworthy, crazy, needy and flawed in the most unforgivable ways possible. Why??? Because this is how they control you. They want to keep you muted and to stunt your growth. The truth is the majority of toxic people are intimidated and jealous of who you are as an individual, the way others love you, your achivements, your dreams, etc. You are a constant reminder of everything they want but can't have. So they set out to destroy you. They spend their time building you up just to knock you down. And over time your mental and emotional well being begins to deteriorate. And unfortunately just leaving the relationship isn't enough to fix the damage that was done.

 

Often times the negative emotions that are associated with a toxic relationship such as fear, guilt, shame, anger, etc can linger even long after the relationship has has ended. These emotions and thoughts can interfere and in some cases prohibit us healing and growing. Healing from a toxic relationship is an important step that should not be skipped as it provides us an opportunity to reflect and evaluate on the things that made us susceptible to the toxic relationship in the first place. Having this information will greatly reduce the chances of engaging in another toxic relationship and will also help you grow as an individual.
