About this listen

Break free from toxic patterns, heal your emotional wounds, and become the secure, loving version of yourself you were always meant to be.

A 2023 study published in Current Psychology revealed that unresolved emotional wounds are among the strongest predictors of toxic relationship behaviors—especially those rooted in control, blame, withdrawal, and emotional volatility.

If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same painful patterns in love, friendship, or family—despite your best intentions—this is not because you’re broken. It’s because your nervous system and emotional habits have been shaped by unhealed pain. And the good news? You can change those patterns—starting now.

Imagine what your life would feel like if you could stop reacting impulsively and start responding with clarity, calm, and self-respect.

This isn’t just another book pointing fingers or throwing around blame. How to Stop Being Toxic is a groundbreaking self-healing blueprint designed to help you identify, understand, and transform the hidden patterns that are keeping you stuck in conflict, shame, and isolation. This book helps you go beyond surface-level advice and into the core of why toxic behaviors arise—and how to heal them from the inside out.

Instead of labeling, this book illuminates the deep psychological roots of patterns like emotional withdrawal, passive-aggression, defensiveness, control, jealousy, and manipulation. You’ll learn how these responses often stem from unmet childhood needs, unprocessed trauma, and unhealthy relational blueprints formed in early life—and how to begin rewiring them through self-awareness and emotional mastery.

If you’re ready to stop living in reaction mode and start living with conscious clarity, How to Stop Being Toxic is your roadmap.

You are not your past. You are not your patterns. You are the person willing to break the cycle—starting today.

This self-help book is a powerful tool for personal growth, covering a wide range of topics. It encourages reflection on oneself as one listens. Everyone possesses a unique toxicity. Whether innate or acquired, intentional or not, it directly or indirectly impacts not only oneself but also those around them. Therefore, following the author's roadmap, you can develop empathy for others and improve your own self. I highly recommend it.

Creating the love and peace we deserve is something we need to work on. We should not overreact to toxic people. I know that toxic people are hard to reason with because they love drinking too much alcohol, and they are lost in terms of respecting people. In our church, we believe that we are prohibited from drinking or smoking because if we avoid those things, God will bless us. I appreciate the author’s advice on how to solve problems. The narrator is clear, and the story is inspiring.
