The Mindful Psychology Podcast

Today on the podcast, we will mainly be comparing and contrasting unhealthy and healthy dynamics. We'll look at examples, explore different contexts, and I'll offer some considerations.

The goal here is to shine some light on more challenging relationships and then turn our attention to what is possible in relationships. Moreover, we can learn to figure out what we can do to have these healthy relationships.

Topics covered:

- Unhealthy behaviours

- Examples of toxic dynamics (jealousy/competition, narcissistic tendencies, and more)

- Reasons it may be hard to make sense of them

- Where our responsibility begins and ends

- The flip side in relationships (healthy relationships)

- The importance of feeling our feelings

- Learning what to do with our thoughts and emotions

- Being mindful of our sensitivities and those of our loved ones in our relationships

- Tips for building healthy relationships

- Choosing to love ourselves (even when we may disappoint someone else)
