Life Skills for Living and Working with a Difficult, Toxic Person
with Preethi Fernando, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education
Toxic people play emotional hostage and mind games. The emotional, mental, financial drain caused by a toxic person is like a leaky faucet, slowly and silently getting bigger and more destructive. Bullying, narcissistic behavior, controlling, lying, manipulation, pitting one against the other, silent treatment, cunning behaviors, withholding recognition, blame, are toxic behaviors that can drag us down like a sea anchor. Stop trying to change the toxic person. Start changing yourself. Learn how to be calm when the toxic person pushes your buttons. Find peace of mind, increase your productivity, and live stress free, as you master the life skills for living for working with a toxic person. Preethi Fernando is the author of “You Got This- How to Work with Toxic People.” Preethifernando.com.
