Toxic Relationship Advice During Dark Night of the Soul Red Flags & Healing Tips

My spiritual awakening brought about many changes in my life, including the recognition of toxic relationships. As a highly sensitive empath, I believe in being kind, supportive, and forgiving of others' shortcomings. It took me a long time to accept reality, find the strength to let go and move on. I'm here to provide toxic relationship advice during dark night of the soul.

Here's my story and the lessons I’ve learned.

The person who turned out to be toxic was the last one I expected. I ignored early warning signs and continued to nurture the relationship, feeling comfortable and hopeful. We built a bond over time and created many fond memories, deepening our friendship.

However, when the love bombing stopped, inconsistency set in, bringing confusion and causing me to distance myself. I questioned if I was doing something wrong or if I wasn’t enough. The emotional abuse began, and events unfolded behind the scenes, leading to sleepless nights and a feeling that something was wrong.

Eventually, the oppression led to public humiliation. This person would find ways to control the narrative when they didn’t get their way. The manipulation and gaslighting continued, causing significant anxiety and contributing to my depression.

Recognizing the red flags was challenging because I had envisioned this person as someone entirely different. Realizing I was dealing with a narcissist left me feeling lost, devastated, and disempowered. I attempted to address the underlying issue, hoping we could come to a resolution. Unfortunately, this conversation had minimal impact as my friend refused to speak the truth. Encouraging me my feelings and experiences was just in my head and our relationship was just fine.

One day, after a significant accomplishment, this person compared their achievements to mine instead of celebrating with me. That was the final straw. Observing how they treated others further confirmed my suspicions. My intuition had warned me, but I had ignored it until now.

7 Red Flags of a Toxic Relationship:

1. Controlling, one-sided relationships

2. Not celebrating your accomplishments

3. Lies and manipulation

4. Disrespecting your boundaries

5. Oppression

6. Judgment 

7. Betrayal 

The distance allowed me to process, understand, and reflect on the relationship. I examined my role in the situation, not to blame myself, but to take responsibility for my life. This helped me understand myself better as I evolved.

I found support through trustworthy friendships, a knowledgeable therapist, Psychics & Healers, and a Hypnotherapist. They guided me in releasing old belief systems, developed new ones, and embracing positivity, which brought me happiness. Forgiving myself and building inner confidence reinforced that I deserve to be loved. Below are steps I used on my own healing journey.

6 Steps to Healing and Recovery:

1. Self-compassion and prioritizing well-being

2. Practicing mindfulness and trusting intuition

3. Accepting responsibility for your part

4. Forgiveness

5. Knowing your worth

6. Setting boundaries

This was an important lesson in my life as a recovering codependent. Self-reflection helped me understand my contribution to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Knowing my worth and what I deserve in relationships built a better foundation for my future strengthening my self-trust.

Your intuition can save you from heartaches and suffering. If you are going through this, try not to punish yourself, as it will only prolong the pain and lesson. Forgiving yourself and others will release you from burdens. You don’t have to cut them off completely but, a healthy distance can provide relief. 

Understanding your self-worth is crucial and far more important than enduring toxic relationships. Acknowledging your true value and what you won’t accept empowers you. You’ll soon see it's much better to dance alone than with someone who only pretends to have your back. 

My life took a dramatic turn when I stopped looking for approval from others and started embracing self-love. Honoring my intuition gave me a sense of freedom and trust, knowing I’m never alone. With more faith than ever, my life has become brighter and better. I’m grateful for the lessons. 

This aspect of the spiritual awakening journey can be demanding. Discovering a community of people also going through the dark night of the soul can bring peace. Surround yourself with those who will encourage you during your darkest times. You may feel alone, but you are not.
