Sometimes this display of traits can be slow and happen over time which can be confusing for the person on the receiving end. Listen in to Living Freely today as Rachel Ann Dine, LPC shares what toxic traits look like, how they can surface in a romantic relationship, and understanding what needs to be present for the relationship to be salvageable (if you recognize these traits).
