Coaching Post Toxic Relationship

Until we have a law that prohibits one spouse from withdrawing more than 10% of a joint account without a written consent from the other spouse, each partner needs to keep their accounts separate, and both need to contribute monthly to a joint account in a percentage that matches their income.

I wish that the financial and religious institutions would stop encouraging joint accounts only, as marriage is not what it used to be, and it is very common nowadays for one spouse to withdraw all the money (or almost all) from the accounts, leaving the other spouse with almost nothing!

The same is true for prenuptial agreements. Religious and financial institutions need to stop discouraging one partner from asking for a prenuptial agreement. The prenuptial agreement can be voided after so many years (for example, 10-15 or maybe 20 years) of marriage, but they need to be encouraged.

This is the only way to protect the spouse from having to face financial challenges at the time of the divorce due to financial infidelity from their partners. It is sad to see spouses in their retirement age have to return to work as they were left with nothing (or almost nothing) because they listened to religious or financial leaders.

For years, it broke my heart to see how people who had endured toxic relationships remained wounded at their core, unable to truly heal, even long after the relationship ended.

I refused to let that be my story.

Yes, a part of me was forever changed by my experience. For a long time, that realization felt like the toxic person’s ultimate victory — that they had succeeded in altering who I was.

But then I saw the truth.

That broken piece of me wasn’t the end of my story — it was replaced by something stronger: a new core grounded in unshakable faith. A deep belief that God can heal anything… even the hearts of those who once caused harm.

Healing doesn’t come from time alone. It comes from choosing to walk hand in hand with God, and allowing Him to lead you out of the wreckage into something whole and sacred.

This is the path that saved me. Nothing else worked.

It helps to look at yourself now and compare yourself with your previous self. How destroyed you were after exiting a toxic relationship. When you look at your current self, you realize how much you've changed. You become stronger, wiser, and more resilient to toxic influences.

At that moment, you smile and keep going.

No one has the right to crush another person’s spirit.

When someone deliberately tears down your identity, peace, and sense of self—that is not love. That is abuse.

And it is an act of pure cruelty.

Toxic relationships leave real, lasting harm.

As a neurologist and coach, I have seen this pain linger for years—even long after the relationship has ended. The psychological wounds, the emotional exhaustion, and the self-doubt don’t disappear just because the person is gone.

The saddest thing I witness?

Brilliant, kind people still suffering in silence… years later… asking themselves if they were the problem.

Let me say this clearly:

No one has the right to do this to you. Ever.

Healing is possible.
You are not alone.

Let Your Intuition Guide You—Even Years Later

If you're reconnecting with a toxic person years after leaving the relationship, pause and listen closely to the voice inside you.

Does your heart feel anxious when you talk to them?
Do you feel truly safe in their presence?
Are you at peace, or does something feel off?

That inner knowing isn’t random.
It’s your intuition.
It’s God’s way of protecting you—still.

Don’t ignore the quiet discomfort.
Don’t dismiss the anxiety as overreacting.
And don’t silence the voice that’s trying to keep you safe.

Trust yourself.

Forgiveness is not easy, but it is necessary for the salvation of your soul. Forgiving does not mean forgetting and it does not mean letting go of all your defenses, but it means to allow your heart a chance to heal so you can move on with the next chapter in your life in a more healthy and more peaceful way.

The First Days of Freedom: Immediate Symptoms After Leaving a Toxic Relationship:

Exiting a toxic relationship can feel like escaping a burning building—you’re finally out, but the smoke still lingers. Many survivors expect relief, only to be met with confusing, painful symptoms that may feel like setbacks. In truth, these are normal responses to emotional trauma, and understanding them is a vital first step in healing.

1. Emotional Whiplash
One moment you may feel free, the next deeply unsure. This back-and-forth—relief mixed with sadness, guilt, or even longing—is your nervous system recalibrating. You’ve spent months or years suppressing emotions, walking on eggshells, and questioning your reality. It’s natural for your emotional state to swing unpredictably at first.

2. Self-Doubt and Second-Guessing
Toxic dynamics often erode your self-trust. You may ask yourself:

“Was it really that bad?”

“Maybe I overreacted?”

“Should I have tried harder?”
These thoughts are common, especially if the toxic partner used manipulation or gaslighting. Healing means learning to trust your inner voice again.

3. Physical Fatigue and Brain Fog
Your body may finally relax after being in a prolonged state of fight-or-flight. That sudden drop in adrenaline can leave you feeling exhausted, foggy, and unmotivated. You may struggle to concentrate, remember details, or perform tasks that once felt easy.

4. Hypervigilance and Anxiety
Even after the relationship ends, your nervous system might still be on high alert. You may jump at loud noises, scan for threats in conversations, or fear you’ll be punished for speaking up. This is your brain’s protective mechanism—something we can work on gently rewiring.

5. Grief for the Person You Hoped They Were
You’re not just mourning a person—you’re grieving the future you imagined, the hope you held, and the version of the relationship you tried so hard to create. This grief is real and valid.

What You Need to Know:
These symptoms are temporary.

You are not weak for feeling them.

You do not have to go through this alone.

Healing after a toxic relationship doesn’t start with “moving on.” It begins with acknowledging what you’ve survived and allowing yourself space to feel, rest, and rebuild.

At Coaching Post Toxic Relationship, we help survivors reconnect with their inner voice, find safety in their own decisions again, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
