Dr Lillian Glass, a California-based communication and psychology expert, frames toxic relationships in her book "Toxic people".
She says it is "any relationship [between people who]don't support each other, where there's conflict, and one seeks to undermine the other, where there's competition, where there's disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness."
No matter whether it is your spouse that is draining your energy, or your kids are getting on your nerves, or perhaps your boss expects a lot, criticizes too much and gives too little.
Regardless of the difficult family member making you join the lines of nervous wrecks, you DESERVE BETTER!
And you know what? You are NOT alone!
To help you get a better picture here is not such a fun statistic: A whopping 15.5million people suffer from depression as of 2017 in the US alone, and a large portion of those people live in toxic relationships.
According to a National representative Study by the University of Pennsylvania from 2012, the quality of social relationships is a significant risk factor for major depression.
Take off the mask
Many people will try to mask their condition by constantly keeping busy and ignoring the problem until too late. I know how it feels since I have been there, disguising my relationship troubles and going on with the day as if I am the happiest person in the world.
Well, here is a simple fact: If you do not do anything about your unhealthy relationship, you will probably fall into the trap of depression and anxiety. Hiding away from your problems, masking them and ignoring them will not solve them.
If you are reading this, chances are you already know you need some outside help!
And there is nothing wrong with seeking help!
When I was in a toxic relationship myself, I read two books on the subject that proved to be a tremendous epiphany for me, as I knew I had discovered a technique to help the human mind tap its true potential.
Book one - "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss, was about how to negotiate when people's lives are at stake, and it taught me how to deal with difficult people. The second book - "The Values Factor", taught me how to use people values to win them over in a discussion.
As a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 22 years of experience working in the mental health field for the NHS and other mental health organizations, I put together my Three Step DFM Neutralizer system.
The system shows you how to protect yourself from pain, manipulation and damage whilst communicating with your DFM (difficult family member).
I have successfully overcome my mental health struggles and have helped hundreds of people overcome their mental health problems as well.
