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.

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.

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.

Fantastic book, I highly recommend it!!!

I’m pretty close to having read every book on narcissism ever written and I was hesitant to read this because I was sure I couldn’t learn anything new but this book was incredibly helpful and powerful in reminding me of things I’ve forgotten or have minimized. This author really knows narcissism and how to not only protect yourself but more importantly how to live a more free, happy loving life free of narcissistic people. Shahida’s books are a gift to humanity and I’m grateful to have just completed this one… I will be listening to it again!
