Lily Collins appeared on a recent episode of the We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle podcast, where she discussed her emotionally abusive relationship in her early twenties. “My toxic romantic relationship involved a lot of verbal and emotional abuse,” she added.

I was having panic attacks and had kidney infections at the same time. All of these strange physical manifestations, but I didn’t put two and two together at the time because your body is telling you, ‘This is not a situation you’re supposed to be in.’
“My past can brought painful experiences back at any time, no matter what relationship I’m in,” Lily Collins explained.
Your gut reacts, your heart drops, and you’re transported back to that moment 10 years ago when they said that to you, but you’re not in that situation now.”
These kinds of things do have an impact on a person’s mental health, and it takes a caring and understanding partner to help one heal; fortunately for Collins, she found it in her husband Charlie McDowell.
“Whenever I’m in one of these memories, it’s so obvious to Charlie, who really can reads me like a book, and he calls it out in a moment,” Lily said of Charlie. This is how healthy conversation and communication can feel.
