Psychovampires: How to Communicate with Those Who Steal Our Energy

This book is about how to learn to resist toxic people if life has brought you into contact with them without providing an immediate escape. People whose communication drains all your strength and energy are often called psychovampires. The book will introduce you to the variety of their types. You will learn which people attract a particular type of "victim," what the mechanisms of their influence are, and what ways there are to counteract them. The authors - psychiatrist and psychologist Hamid Pezeshkian and journalist and business coach Connie Voigt - explain this in an accessible way using simple language, providing examples from life and their own practice.
