Why Do Toxic Relationships Take Longer To Get Over?
Overcome pain faster by understanding what keeps you stuck
Last year, Mind Journal reported that the second most searched question related to relationships in 2021 was “How to get over a breakup”.
It’s not surprising, considering how debilitating the end of a significant relationship can be.
Understandably, people are desperate to know how to move through the pain of a breakup and out the other side as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, a toxic relationship will take longer to heal from than a healthier relationship.
The reason for this is because, on a subconscious level, you are trying to heal from trauma and pain which originates from your childhood.
This type of trauma is usually what has attracted you to this relationship in the first place.
When people are involved in toxic relationships, they can develop an addiction to the anxiety that is produced when they are back in a relationship dynamic that does not feel safe.
