The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Dealing with Toxic People

Author: Shahida Arabi

This book is not a substitute for psychotherapy; although it has been reviewed by a licensed clinical therapist, its purpose is merely to be a self-help guide. You should always consider therapy under the supervision of a licensed professional if you are recovering from trauma, have doubts about implementing any of these suggestions, or are concerned about your safety. The sole aim of these self-care tips is to complement your journey towards greater self-esteem, recovery, and boundary setting. Take what suits you and adapt it to your specific circumstances. I hope that by using the information in this book, you will not only learn to harness the gift of your heightened sensitivity but also become highly strategic in your dealings with toxic people. If you realize that you are a highly sensitive person who tends to get involved with toxic individuals, know that you are not alone. While some traits that make you a highly sensitive person can make you vulnerable to emotional predators, you also possess traits that can be used as strengths to detect toxic people, build strong boundaries, and confront their manipulation head-on.
