Summary
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.

A note about the Narrator
Just a thought- I think she sounds like Angela Lansbury (Murder She wrote) which makes it far more enjoyable to listen to the narration. Try it.

Very useful book
I really enjoyed my time with this Guide.
It has a lot lf great advice and methods of dealing with toxic people. I'll try to use some of them in my daily life.
One small complaint is that in some examples from patients the author tells stories of murder and abuse, that some people may found triggering. So if you are easily triggered, read with caution.
Big thank you to Audible for making it available in a Plus catalogue. I really needed it.

Fascinating, educational read
wonderful book, real eye opener into traits of narcissistic people & very helpful in terms of healing tips. Understanding how a OSP feels/acts was really interesting

Highly sensitive people
"Highly sensitive people are in a unique position to encounter a wide variety of toxic people because manipulators look for people with empathy to exploit."
The brains of narcissists & psychopaths are quite the opposite of highly sensitive people. Studies have shown that narcissistic people have gray matter abnormalities in areas of the brains relating to empathy.

Excellent
Found this book to be excellent. I was aware of the bullying I endured but I never focused on how my bullies actions had conditioned me. It was in my unconscious and this book spelled it out for me. I highly recommend it for anyone that still struggles from narc abuse.

Fantastic.
It's rare to find a self help book that helped me help myself so much and so quickly. definitely one I'd listen to again. Here's to hoping that enough HSPs will read this and collectively rise up against all of the narcissistic bwords :)

DESPERATELY wanted to listen to this but...
The narrator sounded like a robot. Considering that a large proportion of HSP's have conditions such as ADHD and are therefore Highly Sensitive to things such as sounds, I'm baffled as to why they used a narrator with a voice which was practically impossible to get to grip one's attention. I'm sure the book is good but dear God it's like listening to paint dry (if you get my point). I got to about 10 minutes on chapter one and that was giving 9 more minutes than I could bear, so I did give it a chance. Sorry for the negative review but if it had a good narrator it might have been really positive, who knows? Change the narrator and I'll buy it again!
