Ep. 7 - Don't You Know You're Toxic? (Toxic Personality Traits)

Have you ever left an interaction with someone and felt emotionally drained, self-conscious or mentally exhausted? You may have felt that way because the person you were interacting with has toxic behaviours.  This week, Alison talks us through some of the most common toxic personality traits, and tips that you can use to deal with people who have them.  Apologies in advance for the fishbowl-sounding audio... we recorded over Zoom so the quality isn't quite the same!
