Recollected Self: Jaime Mahler on Breaking Toxic Cycles (Part 2)

<p dir="ltr">Today’s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here’s part two of our conversation with Jaime Mahler, MS, LMHC, who is the woman behind the popular Recollected brand on social media, as well as the author of TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY: Your Guide to Identifying Toxic Partners, Leaving Unhealthy Dynamics, and Healing Emotional Wounds After A Breakup. </p> <p dir="ltr">If you didn’t listen to part one, pause and rewind so you can avoid being extremely confused. As a reminder, in the last episode we focused on Mahler’s past involvement with a “cult-like version of Catholicism.” She explained some of the shame and guilt she experienced, her father’s ardent fasting, and how her OCD played a serious role in her spirituality. </p> <p dir="ltr">On today’s episode, we dive deeper with Jaime into her book, honing in on narcissism and the fact that—and get ready for this—you might actually be the toxic partner in your relationship. Or at least one of them. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Find Recollected Self on social media: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/recollectedselfrising/">Facebook</a>, <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/recollectedself/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, and <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@recollectedself?lang=en">TikTok</a>, or visit their <a href="https://recollectedself.com/">website</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Purchase Toxic Relationship Recovery: Your Guide to Identifying Toxic Partners, Leaving Unhealthy Dynamics, and Healing Emotional Wounds after a Breakup on <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Relationship-Recovery-Identifying-Unhealthy/dp/1507220502/ref=sr_1_1?crid=27TQ9CL3YTNWJ&keywords=jaime+mahler&qid=1691695541&sprefix=jaime+mahler%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1"> Amazon</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Also…</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Let it be known far and wide, loud and clear that…</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the
