Symbiosis in Relationships: What It Is & How to Deal With It

Therapy Articles

Have you ever been in a relationship where you and your partner almost felt like one person? Where you started saying more “we” instead of “I”. Your partner’s moods dictated your emotions, his or her happiness became your responsibility and the thought of being apart made you feel uneasy or even panicked? This intense emotional bond might feel like love, but it could actually be symbiosis at play. Symbiosis in relationships happens when two people become so deeply intertwined that their sense of self starts to fade. They begin to function as one, making decisions, regulating emotions and even defining their identities through each other. While this may sound romantic, especially in the early stages of love, it can quickly become unhealthy and restrictive if it leads to emotional dependence and the loss of individuality.

How to Deal with Toxic People in Your Life

Psychology Articles

Not everyone goes through life with the same intentions, values and standards as you. It is an inevitable truth of life that toxic people will occasionally show up on our paths. They can pop up any time, sometimes disguised as “friends”, family members, colleagues or strangers. You might think you attracted negativity and toxicity when you are in a lower vibration and state of mind, but in fact toxic people can show up in any of our lives. We can’t control the presence of toxic people in our lives, but we can control how we respond to them. We have to prepare ourselves, and the most important first step in that is to be able to recognize toxic behaviour. Setting boundaries is the essential next step. By prioritizing our well-being, we can minimize the impact of toxicity and protect ourselves from unnecessary harm. Remember, encountering toxic people is not a reflection of your worth or value, it’s simply a part of life’s journey that teaches us valuable lessons about resilience, self-care, and the importance of surrounding ourselves with positivity and support.
