Psychologist Silvia Congost specialized in self-esteem and emotional dependence thanks to the toxic relationship she experienced first-hand: “I couldn't get out of that destructive spiral. I realized that neither my studies nor my experience could help me get out of there. What I experienced taught me my true purpose in life: to help all the people who need to regain their self-esteem, stop suffering in toxic relationships, and achieve emotional independence.” Congost argues that a dependent and toxic relationship is any relationship in which we do not feel free to be ourselves, when our personal self-realization is hindered: “Emotional dependence is the inability to cut off a relationship in those cases in which we should cut it off.” And she adds: “What we should not do with toxic people is try to change them.” In addition, Silvia Congost is the author of the books 'If it hurts, it is not love', 'When loving too much is depending', 'Alone' and 'Automatic self-esteem', among others, in which she reflects on the misunderstood concept of love that we have today: “Being in a relationship is being in perpetual uncertainty, there are never any guarantees in any relationship.” #WeLearnTogether
