Toxic Relationship Recovery by Jaime Mahler
What’s it About?
Let go of your toxic partner, heal your emotional wounds, and set healthy boundaries for future relationships with this step-by-step guide to overcoming toxic relationships.
For those wondering how to detect if they are in a toxic relationship, psychotherapist, mental health educator and TikTok sensation @recollectedself also known as Jaime Mahler role-plays relationship scenarios that show exactly how toxic relationship conversations evolve. These conversations have gone viral over and over again
The road to love is never smooth, and many of us get stalled — or even damaged — along the way. That’s why Mahler wrote Toxic Relationship Recovery: Your Guide to Identifying Toxic Partner, Leaving Unhealthy Dynamics, and Healing Emotional Wounds After a Breakup (Adams Media). Her hope is to lead readers out of relationship trauma and onto the path of self-healing.
The truth is no one is immune to toxic romantic relationships that make us feel devalued, attacked or neglected. If we’re lucky, these episodes are brief detours that we learn from and use as a springboard to happier, healthier relationships.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part shows the painful process of how we form unhealthy relationships and why we stay in them. It holds up a mirror to the behaviors that make us cringe and the beliefs that keep us stuck in the mire of our own trauma. She guides readers through the process of discovery of how they’ve gotten to where they are, and what an unhealthy relationship dynamic really looks like. Most importantly, Mahler reassures that readers can get beyond the anger, sorrow, terror or hopelessness they might be feeling right now. And then she shows you how.
In part two, the healing begins. Mahler presents skills and strategies designed to heal your inner wounds, reaffirm your identity outside of a relationship, and open up to the greatest discovery of all—how to be happy again. She helps you learn to listen to your own inner voice, strengthen your convictions, establish new standards and find healthy love — whether it’s with the pleasure of your own company or with another.
Along the way, Mahler presents real-world examples, simple exercises and key takeaways. It’s a manual rooted in her skill, experience and expertise as a mental health counselor, making it entirely different and more effective than vapid advice books to the lovelorn. Toxic Relationship Recovery provides solid professional advice so you can do the hard work, learn to recognize your value, step into your power, and claim your potential for a brighter future.
