      I agree and I'm finding a lot of so-called experts just dismissing people when they call an environment toxic because the word toxic is thrown around so much nowadays. I understand that many people use words incorrectly or exaggerate but at the same time there are many of us who know exactly what a toxic environment really is and to have experienced it and are desperate or were desperate to get out for their own mental health. I really wish these coaches would be more understanding and ask more questions about the environment so they could understand that it's real and it's not just made up in people's heads and not everybody is exaggerating.
