About this listen

Here’s your three-part guide to stop toxic triggers, commit to positive change, and nurture healthy relationships.

Are you stuck in a toxic cycle? Do you get defensive, assign blame, lie, snap, or use sarcasm? Are you becoming the person you swore you’d never be?

Before your actions cause irreversible damage and push loved ones away, know this: Your toxic behaviors don’t define you. You can change and grow. This empathetic guide will help you become more self-aware, stop harmful patterns, and rebuild relationships.

With this three-part roadmap, you’ll discover:

  • 10+ signs you’re being toxic – and how awareness is a leap toward improvement.
  • How to practice empathy and nurture genuine relationships with yourself and others.
  • How trauma can lead to toxic behavior and how to heal from the pain of the past.
  • Proven strategies to stop the blame game and take responsibility for your actions.
  • How to forgive others and yourself — even when it’s hard.
  • Techniques for maintaining a toxic-free life and avoiding relapse into old behaviors.
  • The “toxic triggers” tracker to stop toxicity in its tracks and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • 6 types of manipulation and how to stop them before causing damage to relationships.
  • How to make a genuine, empathetic apology and the 10 steps to rebuild trust in relationships.

And so much more.

This book provides a supportive framework for changing toxic behaviors, with tools like toxic trigger trackers and self-reflection exercises you can use right away.

This book offers a clear and thoughtful breakdown of what toxic behavior looks like and where it often comes from. It’s not just about pointing fingers—it focuses on the “why” behind manipulation and control, and how those patterns can be unlearned. I found the section on self-awareness especially interesting, as it connects emotional triggers with behavior in a way that’s easy to understand. Whether you're studying relationship dynamics or just want to understand human behavior on a deeper level, this book provides a solid foundation. It’s informative, well-organized, and refreshingly non-judgmental.

This book is a reflective and realistic means for anyone to turn negative patterns into positive connections. I think the emphasis on personal introspection as the foundation really resonated; it is a journey that is challenging yet liberating. I found the guidance remarkably actionable, in particular the frameworks for authentic reconciliation and sustaining positive changes long-term. Some of the concepts stepped in familiar territory, but the voice was so warm and supportive, it made the material feel fresh and engaging. If you're looking for a compassionate entry point into personal growth, this is it-this book reads like a wise friend gently guiding you toward your better self.

Jackson Porter offers a kind, humble, and sensitive approach to this fragile subject matter. As the subtitle suggests, this is a very effective exercise in developing self-awareness. On one hand this book is a challenge to the adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." On the other hand, I think this book is very appropriate for younger generations. We all know the associated issues brought about by social media especially with regard to bullying and other abusive treatment. In my view this book should be incorporated into educational curriculums universally.

The book explains what toxic behaviors are in a simple way, and it helped me see some habits I didn’t even realize I had. The author showed how to look at my actions and figure out why I react the way I do. It wasn’t about blaming myself but about understanding and improving. I would recommend it !
