I agree that improving emotional regulation is a first step to building up the energy to change a situation.
My issue with modern internet style pseudo-stoicism is that it's fixated on becoming indifferent (the title of this article, even) and breeds a sort of learned helplessness. The article's sub-heading is about prisoners and warriors, but using techniques optimized for being a prisoner or stuck in a war isn't quite right for someone navigating a toxic relationship or toxic job where you're not actually entirely helpless.
The best emotion to change a situation (though you might not like the change!) is anger.
Indifference is the best emotion to stay in a situation.
