#28 Toxic Relationships & Abuse: Healing Your Nervous System with Erin Taylor

⚠️ Trigger Warning

This episode contains discussions around toxic relationships, emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, and domestic abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly is joined by Erin Taylor, a mindset and nervous system regulation coach, to explore the realities of toxic and abusive relationships.

Together, they unpack why emotional abuse can be so difficult to recognise and leave, how narcissistic traits and love bombing show up in relationships, and why the question “Why don’t they just leave?” oversimplifies a deeply complex situation. Erin shares insights from her work supporting people in domestic abuse situations, highlighting the emotional, financial, and nervous system factors that keep people stuck.

The conversation also focuses on healing after abuse — from rebuilding self-trust and independence to regulating the nervous system through breath work and meditation. Erin introduces her membership Regulate, designed to support emotional healing, safety, and self-discovery.

This episode is a compassionate, informative listen for anyone questioning a relationship, healing from emotional abuse, or wanting to better understand toxic dynamics.
