Don't Feed the Psychopath. How to Recover from Unhealthy Relationships with Narcissists, Sociopaths and Other Toxic People

Illicit use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and their analogs harms health. Their illegal distribution and trafficking are prohibited and entail liability under the law.

Who are psychopaths, narcissists, and sociopaths? These are people prone to manipulation and practically incapable of empathy: they can consciously hurt others without feeling guilt and without taking responsibility. Despite all differences between these types, their interactions with the outside world usually follow the same pattern: idealization—devaluation—final break.

You can’t fix such destructive relationships, because toxic people generally don’t change. But you can gain support to get out of this circle, start anew, and regain your ability to enjoy life: learn to trust your own feelings, build inner stability, and see in the future a place for hope and surprise.

Jackson MacKenzie’s international bestseller is a practical guide for those who want to finally break free from a toxic connection. The author, who has gone through abuse, explains how to cope with key psychological consequences, recover after contact with psychopaths and other types of manipulators, and rebuild your life again.
