Resumen del Editor

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.

Illuminating

As a HSP going thru a 20-years marriage with what i realized 2 years after the divorce to be a narcissist, this book brought more clarity and understanding! I plan on re-listening so i can absolutely nail down all the good info! Thank you Shahida Arabi💜

Interesting Read

Very valuable information for empowering yourself. I liked that the information wasn’t too lengthy. I was able to finish reading in only a few days

Excellent information

There are tons of great examples, suggestions, and exercises. I highly recommend this book.

OMG LOVED IT!!!

This book opened my eyes to see myself in a better light… I felt like this book was made just for me!

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!!!

Very helpful

As a HSP recently out of a toxic relationship this book really helped me. I plan to use several of the tools outlined as I move forward.

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.

That others experienced the same things I was going through.

I liked this book, I will be re reading it again so I will not forget the pointers needed to have a better life.

The most helpful book I’ve read to help after a string of toxic relationships

This was very helpful. I found it very tailored to HSP and details about what to do to disconnect from toxic people. I am a HSP with C-PTSD from childhood narcissistic abuse and I’m really grateful my social worker recommended this. I sped it up 2x and took lots of notes of the tools.

Ver Good

It was as if the author knew me. I have successfully used some of the suggestions in the book. Encouraging.
