How can a change in partners help me get healthy?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

That depends: If you are in a dysfunctional or abusive relationship - then ending that relationship would be a healthy first. However, i would not start looking for a new partner until you have had an opportunity to grieve or work through the one that ended. Take care.
