Description
This book teaches you to be yourself. We all want others to like us, approve of us, and accept us, which is a natural part of being human. While it's okay to want to support others and help them, the problem arises when we sacrifice our own needs to achieve this. When we do so, we often give to get something we really need, but rarely do we get what we truly require.
Emma Reed Turrell, a psychotherapist, works with people who struggle with the dilemma of pleasing everyone, but not yet having the permission to please themselves. In this book, she presents an alternative to people-pleasing, sharing insights and techniques to help you understand yourself better and live more authentically. You'll learn how to accept yourself, recover from failure, and grow instead of staying small.
By caring better for yourself, you'll be able to care better for others, without taking on their problems. This book offers a fresh perspective on people-pleasing, helping you to break free from the cycle and find a more balanced, fulfilling life.
