How to Survive Among Toxic People: A Guide for Highly Sensitive Individuals

"Healing the Sensitive Heart: A Survival Guide for Highly Sensitive People"
by Shahida Arabi

Who are the "highly sensitive"? They are empathetic individuals who respond intensely to various stimuli, absorb the emotions of others, and often feel deeply moved by art, music, and beauty. Yet, this deep sensitivity can also make them vulnerable — to narcissists, sociopaths, manipulators, and so-called "emotional vampires" who feed off others’ energy and strive for control.

In this powerful book, acclaimed American psychologist Shahida Arabi — a Columbia University graduate and bestselling author — offers a guide for highly sensitive people to identify toxic behaviors and protect their emotional well-being.
Having personally experienced emotional abuse and bullying in her own life, Arabi combines scientific insight with deep empathy to present practical tools for self-defense and healing.
