Polish experts advise on regaining self after a toxic relationship

A Polish self‑help article explains how people emerging from a toxic or highly demanding partnership often struggle to distinguish their own thoughts, feelings and body sensations from those imposed by the former partner. It recommends identifying which internal narratives are truly personal, rebuilding self‑esteem, trust and a sense of safety, and seeking professional support when subconscious patterns persist. The piece also emphasizes that simply deciding to “move on” may not be enough because the nervous system can continue to react to past threats, and that a gradual process of re‑learning one’s boundaries is essential for lasting recovery.
