EP 124. Toxic relationships, breakups and anxiety in love, with psychologist Cris Romero
Have you ever felt constantly on edge, even when everything seems fine? Do you find it hard to let go of a relationship even when you know it's not good for you? Or do you experience love with anxiety, fear of loss, and a strong need for control?
In this episode, Isabel Viña talks with Cris Romero ( @cris.psico ), a clinical psychologist, about how anxiety seeps into our minds , our bodies, and especially our romantic relationships. We discuss why the mind always anticipates the worst , the constant overthinking that never stops, and how control and hypervigilance end up exhausting us without us even realizing it.
The talk delves into relationships : why it's so hard to leave a relationship, the fear of loneliness, the comfort of staying where we're no longer happy, and how to learn to enjoy love without being trapped in the future. We also address breakups , the loss of identity they sometimes bring, and what signs can help you detect if you're in a toxic relationship or simply one with poorly managed conflicts.
A relatable, practical, and honest episode, with tools to calm anxiety, reflections to better understand your relationships, and a clear message: not everything that hurts is normal, and yes, it can get better.
