A severely challenging personality is an umbrella term that I use to describe someone who has a persistent pattern of behavior and emotional reactions that significantly disrupt relationships. These folks typically have a distorted perception of themselves and resist healthy feedback.
Loving someone who has a severely challenging personality can be trauma-inducing. Cultivating holistic resilience is CRUCIAL if you have someone like this in your life.
I’ve created a FREE guide for you that helps you identify whether you love someone with a severely challenging personality, and then it walks you through cultivating holistic resilience alongside a modified version of the 12 steps. I’ve also included some additional resources in this guide to support you on your journey, including a book and podcast list.
