Olivia Munn Reveals Shocking Therapist Advice to Stay in Toxic Relationship!

Olivia Munn is looking back at difficult time in her life.

In an open discussion, the actress who starred in “X-Men: Apocalypse” spoke candidly about a harmful relationship from her past, labeling it as a particularly difficult and damaging phase in her life.

In an interview with Monica Lewinsky on her Reclaiming podcast (Feb 18 episode), Munn shared that the turning point for her healing process was extricating herself from a toxic relationship. She couldn’t find an appropriate term to describe it, but acknowledged that it was undoubtedly the most challenging phase of her life, being in that situation.

44-year-old Munn highlighted her spirited personality and courage in confronting a gang of bullies when she was 13 as qualities that enabled her escape from that difficult circumstance. Interestingly, Munn was taken aback by the length of time she endured being treated unfairly.

She shared that it was incredibly beneficial for her to learn how to stand up for herself and assert her independence. However, when considering her family situation, she felt ensnared within a very chaotic and tumultuous family environment. Given this, it was evident to those around her that she was someone who would not back down and would fight back.

I never imagined I could be influenced and harmed like that,” Munn continued, “that I wouldn’t simply escape from a situation detrimental to my mental health.

Previously on a show called ‘Newsroom’, a woman who has a 3-year-old son named Malcolm Mulaney and a 5-month-old daughter named Méi Mulaney with her partner John Mulaney, revealed that she had only experienced healthy relationships in the past. She mentioned that these positive relationships compensated for any difficulties she may have faced earlier on.

Instead, those in her life who she thought would provide helpful advice during challenging times failed to offer appropriate counsel when it mattered most.

In that specific scenario, I had a therapist whom I felt deeply connected to, and I believed she genuinely cared for me. However, from the start, I frequently expressed my doubts and discomfort, saying things like, “I’m not sure about this, I don’t think it’s right, I want to leave.” Over time, the situation deteriorated, and I found myself reaching out to her in tears, pleading, “I need to get out.

She went on to say, “This might surprise you, but she urged me to persevere. She felt that my judgment was off, thinking it was similar to a person who looks amazing on paper, but during couples therapy, they knew how to project the ideal image. The tales I shared seemed too incredible to be true.

In the time since, Munn has taken some learning lessons from that difficult period of her life.

Reflecting on the event, she pondered the lesson that instinct should guide her actions in certain situations and decisiveness is key. If it’s a matter of survival, she recognized that she was not content, and time slipped away as days, weeks, and months filled with unhappiness and fear…

Furthermore, the actress from “Love, Wedding, Repeat” carried along some extra knowledge she wishes to impart on her companions, with the intention of eventually passing it down to her own children as well.

In simpler terms, Munn explained that when people advise, “Just go on the date! You might find him appealing, or at least discover what you dislike,” she believes that those who may be unknowingly susceptible – a condition she felt she was in due to her past experiences – should trust their instincts. If something deep within feels off about the first date, they should either not go on it or leave immediately. She emphasizes that one bad date could potentially shorten your lifespan by several years.

Furthermore, she pointed out that it’s not merely about the time spent with someone but also, if fortune favors, the lengthy process of healing oneself in the years following the relationship.
