About this listen

If you're a highly sensitive person, or identify as an "empath", you may feel easily overwhelmed by the world around you, suffer from "people-pleasing", experience extreme anxiety or stress in times of conflict, or even take on the emotions of others. Due to your naturally giving nature, you may also be a target for narcissists and self-centered individuals who seek to exploit others for their own gain. So, how can you protect yourself?

In The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Dealing with Toxic People, you'll learn evidence-based skills grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help you recognize and shut down the common manipulation tactics used by toxic people, such as gaslighting, stonewalling, projection, covert put-downs, and love bombing. You'll also discover targeted tips to protect yourself from the five main types of toxic people: garden-variety boundary-steppers; crazymakers and attention-seekers; emotional vampires; narcissists; and sociopaths and psychopaths.

Finally, you'll learn how to heal from toxic or narcissistic abuse, and find strategies for establishing healthy boundaries and a strong sense of self. If you're an HSP who is ready to take a stand against the toxic people in your life, this book has everything you need to survive and thrive.

This helped me gain the power to leave!

This helped me understand what I was experiencing, how to feel empowered to leave and make a change, and how to stand up for me and my kids. I realize now how horrible my relationship was and now I can start the recovery process.

Validity

It was like a coming home for me, my sensitivity had yet to be validated in this way. Truly made me hold my head up higher & chest out broader being a Highly Sensitive Person.

There's nothing better than a survivor's story!

There's nothing better than a survivor's story seen through the eyes of a recovered therapist. I'm a clinical pharmacist with almost two decades of counseling experience. If I say it's good, it's great!!!

How complete and comprehensive it is.

The narrator seemed a little too prim and proper, and maybe too old for the contemporary subject matter. Would have enjoyed a softer and more contemporary voice. This Audio book and the film-Sensitive-The Untold Story-(Elaine Aron’s work) are powerful allies for me in my quest to recover from the emotional damage done to me by my mother and enabling father, and then all the resulting toxic relationships I’ve had to endure.
