Unhealthy Relationships

Unhealthy relationships are personal or romantic bonds in which dynamics that cause distress predominate, such as excessive control, lack of respect, dependence, or continual emotional strain. Recognizing them is an important step toward well-being.

What do you observe?: A constant feeling of anxiety or sadness around the relationship, difficulty setting boundaries, isolation from other people, or loss of self-esteem.

When to seek support?: When a relationship affects your mood, your safety, or your daily life in a sustained way, talking with a professional can offer clarity and tools.

Which specialist helps?: The psychologist, the specialist in clinical psychology, the psychoanalyst, or the educational psychologist support these processes. If you feel that a relationship is hurting you, talking it over with one of these professionals can help you regain your balance.
