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, keep reading…
If you do a quick online search of toxic or narcissistic persons, 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 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 or a bit 'off’ 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 – Their behavior towards you has nothing to do with you, and more often reflects what they are going through or have gone through personally. 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 minds. Thus, we all have come across toxic individuals 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.

The symptoms of being entangled in a toxic relationship are anger, resentment, frustration, sadness, feeling powerless, addictions, unhealthy control issues, obsession, and feeling manipulated and not respected. No relationship is indeed perfect, but at the same time, it does not mean that you will allow the other person to manipulate you or emotionally abuse you. Remember that when you are in a relationship with the wrong person, it can affect your day-to-day life from the very core and completely alter your sense of self-confidence.

This book's main aim is to help you come out of a toxic relationship and heal from everything you have faced. The first step is acceptance, which can be accomplished with the right strategies and a supportive network of friends and family. By the time you reach the end of this book, you will have a better understanding of self-love and everything about yourself that you had lost amidst the abuse. Don’t rush through the healing process. Take as much time as you need.This book will teach How to identify, understand, and end toxic relationshipsSigns of toxic and narcissistic behaviorManipulation tactics of narcissistsWhy relationships can become difficultThe toxic relationship cycleHow to develop personal and relationship skills to build healthier relationshipsHow to better deal with difficult peopleBoundaries, healthy coping skills, shame resiliency, and healthy communicationToxicity vs. abuseHow to forgive yourself and othersHow to heal and recover from the toxicityAnd more…
