Toxic Attachments

Have you ever wondered why one keeps choosing the same type of toxic relationships?  It seems like one will get into a relationships with individuals that possess the same behaviors just with a different name. As a therapist I have seen this far too often. As one explore their role the term toxic attachment comes to mind. 

Toxic attachment denotes the way in which one form their closest and most intimate bonds. More often than not the toxic attachment is about the behaviors like jealousy, dominance, manipulation, selfishness and desperation. These behavioral patterns that destroys and undermines the connection that maakes for a healthy relationship.

Many have learn to accept these behaviors as they saw them as a child or while young. Many believe that they now have no way out or feel helpless as they want the other person to change yet not relaize that such behaviors may change them.
