SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sovereign Health, a leading national provider of behavioral health treatment services, is pleased to announce the launch of a new article that's now live on www.psychologytoday.com: "How to Navigate a Toxic Relationship."

- Decide whether the relationship is worth fighting for or not.
- Be around positivity and practice self-care.
- Stick to the decision that has been made.
