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.

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.

Why is this not a best seller?

Where was this book when I was a much younger person? I realized I have been abused my whole life under the shadow of " be a good person " and go help people " and What Jesus would do"? mentality. I have been used like a horse my whole life and realized from early on I was in a special group of people (the HSP) but had no way to protect myself from abusive people or find others like me to better understand myself. The author sheds a light on things I couldn't point the finger at and thanks to that, I realized I was being "emotionally gang raped" day in and day out by social media people and other ways of communication by people demanding my attention and my time. It's like anyone that solicited me, I instant had to became responsible for these people and had a personal mission to assist them with whatever they wanted from me. Not to forget that once I went about your business and turn my focus to myself, (these people that constant seeked me. the narcz) perceived being abandoned and suddenly the devil been unleashed at me. The abuse started where my rights began. The author explains why we are a narcissist and toxic people magnet and how to defend from that. She thought me I have the right to not want to engage with anyone I don't want, including my family. I was abused for many years and sacrificing for the good of many has been a tradition I have been wanting to break for a long time. I spent my life having to explain myself and be controlled by someone. This week, (I'm 40 years old) I put an end to it and this book has a lot to do with it. I listen to it often so that it keeps my strategies fresh. This book will help you break the invisible chains you carry. Trust me!
I deleted every social media outlet and anything that facilities the vampires to communicate with me and subsequently manipulating me into engaging with them. Save your mental and emotional health. I recommend doing the same. Social media has been the extension of how people will suck the life out of us.
Think about this and save yourself get this book.
