Relentlessly Difficult People are Disturbing and Crazy-Making.
Everyone knows one, and they need to know what to do to make it stop!
Relentlessly difficult people cause you to question your sanity and second-guess yourself. I call these people "Hijackals"™. They demand to be large and in charge, and make a life's work out of finding fault with you. They cull you from your friends and family, and do their best to take control of everything.
Together, we can help your audience remove their rose-colored glasses, see the red flags, and take positive steps to create healthier relationships with themselves and with the people in their lives...especially the Hijackals.
I help your listeners see more clearly, and learn new ways to escape the endless cycle of crazy-making behavior, alienation, and constant drama in troubled relationships. If you have a call-in show, I'm happy to take calls. Once we've scheduled an interview, I am happy to provide a
list of great questions to stimulate our conversation.
Let's shed light on--and take steps to help folks stop--verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and the constant questioning of their self-worth around a Hijackal.
