Detoxing: Detoxing From a Toxic Relationship

Author: Heather Pidcock-Reed

Relationships that are classified as toxic can make you feel bad about yourself. They can cause significant damage to your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. They can lead to anxiety and depression, and they can even cause post-traumatic stress syndrome. The most dangerous toxic relationships involve mental and physical abuse and even death to the target of such abuse. Detoxing from a Toxic Relationship is one of eight titles in the Detoxing From series. Each title spotlights a major addiction; discusses its negative physical and mental effects, as well as its effects on family and other loved ones; and provides an overview of treatment options for the addiction. Profiles of those who are battling addictions are provided to help readers understand that anyone can develop an addiction. Readers will learn that addictions can be overcome with the help of therapy, drug treatments, self-help groups, support family and friends, and other resources.
