Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

Have you just ended a toxic relationship where you constantly felt like you were walking on eggshells? You never knew what to expect next and felt anxious about what might set your partner off. One moment, your toxic partner might have showered you with love and attention, only to turn cold and cruel the next. Maybe a relationship with them made you feel stressed or emotionally drained.
