    HOW TO BREAK OUT OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS

    1. Heal all the parts of you (including the part of you that stayed or wanted to stay).
    2. Find a licensed counselor/therapist: Check out Open Path if you are in the US & money is an issue [https://openpathcollective.org/].
    3. Explore childhood wounds.
    4. Make a list of warning signs/red flags for future relationships.
    5. Be gentle with yourself.
    6. Read books to help you understand your issues better [i.e., I realized I struggle with codependency issues, so the following books helped me: “Codependent No More” by Melody Beattie” & “Facing Codependence” by Pia Mellody”]
    7. Buy a workbook for self-esteem [i.e., I bought “the Self Esteem Workbook” by Glenn R. Schiraldi”]
    8. Accept help from your support system and friends.
    9. Focus on living in the present.
    10. Practice positive self-talk.

    14. Fully acknowledge you have a pattern of being in toxic relationships.
    15. Explore what relationships were modeled to you as a child.
    16. Think about a friend or family member’s relationship that you respect.  Take notes [i.e., try to find a new “model” for a healthy relationship].
    17. Give yourself time to heal.  Do not date until you are healed.
    18. Form new friendships + build a social network.
    19. Reconnect with any family + friends that you drifted from during your toxic relationship

    S1E31: 31| Own Your Story

    S1E31: 31| Own Your Story

    Rebecca Hopkins talks to us about her training in the Brene Brown’s Daring Way approach and her role as a coach. She shares her knowledge about shame and guilt and how we overcome these experiences by knowing our own triggers and sharing with someone who has earned the right to hear our story. Many of us are walking through the world carrying stories that make us feel unlovable. We discuss worthiness and authenticity and the need to create space to listen to others and empathise with them by just being there. There are so many topics discussed in this fascinating chat including empathy, grief, compassion and letting go of judgment. Rebecca is also an advocate for body safety and she shares amazing tips for parents to encourage body safety and body awareness in their children and how important this is in preventing sexual abuse. Rebecca shares her own personal grief story around infertility and gives us strategies for managing grief using Brene Brown’s Rising Strong method. She also discusses her battle with anorexia and bulimia as a young woman and explores the need for self compassion to overcome her struggles with body image and eating disorders. We discuss body love and we both share our struggles with this concept. From this in-depth and moving discussion we focus on how coaching can be a really powerful tool to create change. This is an intense, moving and courageous discussion where Rebecca shares her wisdom and personal experiences with us and I believe that many people will benefit from this amazing podcast.  Rebecca reminds us that “you have to go through the heart of what is painful to find a deep and unshakable peace.”
