- High conflict personalities (HCPs) share four core features: blaming others, all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions, and secret-keeping.

- They collected a survey with over 650 responses to inform the book and show real experiences.

- They may juggle multiple relationships and show little genuine remorse or empathy.
