Publisher's summary

If you are in a relationship that seems to be suffocating you and you are no longer happy and want to come out of it, this audiobook is for you.

If you do a quick online search for toxic people, the overwhelming advice you’ll find is to cut these people out of your life. But that’s easier said than done, especially if these so-called toxic people are family, colleagues, or other people with whom we live or work closely.

We’ve all been around those people who can leave us feeling drained after an encounter with them. Some people can leave us feeling agitated or annoyed or even just feeling really bad about ourselves.

The most important thing you need to understand when dealing with someone like this is that their behavior toward you has nothing to do with you, and more often reflects their inner mental and emotional state. Identifying their harmful behavior is the first step to minimizing their impact. You might not be able to change what they do, but you can change what you do with it.

Humans are social beings. There is an inherent need in all of us to socialize and interact, but not everyone that walks into our lives has our best interest in their mind.

Thus, we all have come across toxic people at least once during our time on Earth.

But the situation can become ugly when you are involved in a relationship with that toxic person. These unhealthy patterns hold us back and generate a lot of suffering. They condition our reactions and responses in a way that is not serving our highest purpose.

So, how can you stand up for yourself and confront this unhealthy relationship? This book will provide you with all the tools necessary to heal these toxic relationships and move forward.

Best book on this subject !!

Best book I’ve read on this subject! Taught me in simple terms on how to deal with my toxic husband and build the confidence to finally leave! Really made me feel for the first time that I deserve to take care of myself. Thank you for a well read book! I will recommend highly!

Excellent resource at the hour of need!

Although I feel very motivated to take the necessary steps, intersectional factors such as children particularly a child with health needs has to be prioritised. Reading the book was like a true reflection of my own lived experience. Unfortunately, the social and health care system in England is so fragmented that despite availability of excellent services, one has to deal with the implications of living with toxic relationships and environment on their own. The book is comprehensive and provide sufficient information to effectively recognise the signs of toxic relationships as well as optimal action strategies. Highly recommend the book especially if one is living with someone exhibiting signs of borderline personality disorder.

Learning the terms

So far I am learning how to put names and terms to behaviors I have witnessed. I am waiting for more on fsmily toxic relationships like mother/daughter

Great book!

Great book on how to detect toxic traits and what to do about it. Nice and easy to follow with strategies on how to also cope once your done in that relationship.
