Rather than avoiding conflict, it's crucial that people establish healthy ways to manage their disputes, which also provides both parties with an opportunity to better understand each other and strengthen their relationship. However, when loved ones constantly clash and fail to create boundaries and they're on the verge of crumbling, they invite a third party to mediate, which is where intervention show Roxic comes in.

“A participant who believes that they're in a toxic relationship or friendship writes to the show and we help them resolve their issues," explains therapist host Nkululeko Mhlongo, who's better known as Dr Better. "By the end of the discussion, we've gotten to the root of the problem and we've offered opposing parties with tools to improve their bond," adds the therapist, who tells us more about his hosting duties and how he reunites loved ones through care and empathy.
