By: Lue, NatalieMaterial type: TextTextLanguage: English Publisher: India : Harper Horizon , 2022Description: xii, 226 pages ; 21 cmISBN: 9781400337323Subject(s): Boundaries (Psychology) | Self-actualization (Psychology) | Social desirability | Self-protective behaviorDDC classification: Summary: Are you still playing a role you learned in childhood to please others, such as the Good Girl/Boy, the Overachiever, or the Helper? Though these kinds of roles may have gained us attention and affection, they prohibited us from becoming our true selves. People-pleasing--putting others ahead of ourselves to avoid something negative or to get something we want or need--runs rampant in our society. Saying yes when we should say no leaves us stuck in frustrating patterns. And when we don’t say yes authentically, we say it resentfully, which leads to more problems than if we'd said no in the first place. The Joy of Saying No will help you identify your people-pleasing style and habits. A six-step framework then teaches you how to discover the healing and transformative power of no to establish healthier boundaries, foster more intimate relationships and fulfilling experiences, and reconnect with your values and authentic self.
