Recognizing Toxic Relationships and Dynamics
In toxic relationships, the dynamic is different from normal healthy relationships, where one person's emotional needs dominate the relationship, submerging the other person's needs. Emotionally immature individuals lean on their partners to stabilize their insecurities and offload their negative emotions. This dynamic leads to a power struggle where authentic communication and empathy are lacking.
