Why You Can't Turn A Toxic Relationship Into A Healthy One

Real personal work can’t be rushed

Trying to heal deep, long-standings wounds for the sake of another person can be problematic too. There can’t be pressure around the timeline of this healing. The pressure of, “I have to get better soon so my relationship can function” or “I need to fix myself quickly so my partner stays,” does not create a proper environment for healing. Healing has to be done for you, on your timeline. Sensing that a clock is ticking and that if you don’t heal fast enough to keep a partner will affect (read: damage) the healing process. A good therapist won’t give into pressures to fix you fast so you can save your relationship. It doesn’t work that way.
