If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you should know that your sensitivity and compassion are gifts to be honored and valued. But as an HSP, you may feel easily overwhelmed by the world around you, suffer from chronic people-pleasing, experience intense anxiety in times of conflict, and even take on the emotions of others.

This essential guide offers practical skills, exercises, and reflections to help you identify and effectively deal with poisonous personalities. You'll find targeted tips for recognizing red flags and shutting down common manipulation tactics such as gaslighting, stonewalling, projection, and love bombing. Finally, you'll learn how to heal from narcissistic abuse, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate an unshakable 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. Book jacket.
