In this episode of "Every Step," we delve into the topic of toxic people—an experience nearly everyone faces at some point in their lives. Toxic individuals can come from any corner of our social circles: they might be long-time friends, family members, neighbours, or co-workers. In fact, encountering a toxic co-worker is almost inevitable in any career.
Judith and Krystyna share their personal experiences with toxic people and discuss the best strategies for dealing with them.
In "How to Deal with Toxic People," Gregory L. Jantz, Ph.D., with Keith Wall, outlines the hallmark of toxic behaviour: it frequently keeps you off balance. According to Jantz, toxic people often:
Deflect blame or responsibility
Play on the goodwill or guilt of others
Gaslight, making you feel as if you are the dysfunctional one
Join us as we explore these insights and more, equipping you with the tools to manage and overcome the challenges posed by toxic individuals.
