I am in a relationship with total control and psychological pressure.

“I am in a relationship with total control and psychological pressure. I understand that it is destroying me, but I cannot leave because of emotional dependence. How can I break free?” — with this question, one of our subscribers reached out to our expert in the “Ask a Psychologist” section.

Emotional dependence is not a weakness, notes practicing psychologist Yana Kobets. When control, devaluation, and manipulation dominate a relationship, the most important things disappear — a sense of self-worth and safety. A person loses confidence, оправдывает the partner, hesitates, and postpones decisions.

But there is a way out, and the first step is recognizing what is happening. In her response, Yana explains why it is so difficult to leave destructive relationships. She also provides professional guidance on how to regain inner stability and begin the path toward freedom.
