Relationship expert talk about dealing with toxic relationships
Social media users raised concerns about Somizi and Mich's relationship being toxic. Briefly News spoke to relationship expert and founder of Engaged Humans Paula Quinsee about setting boundaries to prevent abuse or toxic situations in relationships. She said:
"If you struggle with enforcing boundaries, working with a professional can help you with practical tools for understanding unhealthy relationship patterns and dynamics and strengthening your self-esteem so that you can address them head-on or remove yourself from the situation. Your mental health is your key priority, and your needs are equally important, which is normal in a healthy relationship.
"A strong support group of friends, family, or a professional can provide guidance and emotional backup when confronting such toxic behaviours."
