About Shahida Arabi
Shahida Arabi holds graduate degrees in psychology and sociology from Columbia University and Harvard University. She has written several bestselling books, including Becoming the Narcissist's Nightmare and Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse. Another of her books is The Highly Sensitive Person's Guide to Dealing with Toxic People, which looks at taking back control from narcissists and other manipulators.
