In this inspiring Short Talk on Talks with Dr Shafer, Dr Shafer discusses the importance of decentering toxic relationships in our lives. She emphasizes how these relationships can consume our thoughts and energy, often leading to self-sabotage and a cycle of seeking validation from those who do not support us.
