Shishkina Anna - 20 years working with people as a doctor, psychologist, coach with ICF international certification, TV speaker, blogger, member of the National Guild of Hypnosis (USA), member of the All-Russian Professional Psychotherapeutic League.
Is it scary not to meet expectations, disappoint, refuse, express your opinion? Are you forced to agree, help, adapt, while inside you are boiling and raging? Do you feel that your patience has run out, and you are about to explode? This book is the perfect way to finally break free from the sticky trap of endless attempts to please everyone.
And this is a real stroke of luck: before you is a deep dive into the psychology of healthy boundaries that will replace boring instructions for gaining willpower, self-confidence, and the ability to choose yourself. You will forever stop being a person whose kindness is taken by others for inability to refuse.
You will learn to nurture a sense of basic safety within, to come out of a child state that must "deserve love", to develop self-worth, and to form new models of interaction with those around you.
- 1. You will understand why you cannot refuse - you will find the root of the problem in childhood settings and roles.
- 2. You will learn to refuse in a way that does not jeopardize relationships - confidently, but gently, without feelings of guilt.
- 3. You will become the master of your time and energy - you will stop squandering yourself on others' tasks and start choosing what is important to you.
