Product Description
Overcome to pressure to please other people with the tools and guidance in The Nice Girl Syndrome: Stop Being Manipulated and Abused — and Start Standing Up for Yourself. Renowned author and therapist Beverly Engel, who has helped thousands of women recognize and leave emotionally abusive relationships, can show you how to take control of your life and take care of yourself. Filled with true stories and practical advice, this book will show you how to identify your “nice girl” identity, confront your beliefs and behaviors and show you how to adopt a healthier attitude.
From the Inside Flap
Are you too nice for your own good? Do family members manipulate you? Do coworkers take advantage of you? Have you stayed in an abusive relationship even though you know how much it is hurting you? If any of this sounds familiar, read The Nice Girl Syndrome.
In this breakthrough guide, internationally acclaimed therapist and emotional abuse expert Beverly Engel explains that women today simply cannot afford to be Nice Girls, since "nice girls" are much more likely to be victimized—emotionally, physically, and sexually—than those who are not so nice. She helps you determine whether the syndrome is keeping you in an abusive relationship or in manipulative situations, and she identifies the seven different types of Nice Girls. She also discusses the specific conditions and experiences that contribute to the development of each type and helps you decide which type might apply to you.
Engel helps you understand the signals that your Nice Girl behavior sends to potential abusers. Through prescriptive action steps, she shows you how to confront the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck in your Nice Girl act and how to replace them with healthier, more empowering ones.
By reading The Nice Girl Syndrome, you′ll learn how to:
-
Stop putting other people′s needs and feelings before your own
-
Stop believing that being nice will protect you and learn how to protect yourself
-
Stop worrying about what other people think of you
-
Start standing up for yourself and your rights
-
Express your anger and learn how to handle conflict effectively
To help in your journey from Nice Girl to strong woman, Engel tells the moving and inspiringstories of women she has worked with who have found the courage and strength to stop taking abuse and who have broken free fromthose who manipulate, belittle, and abuse them. Filled with wise advice, powerful exercises, and practical prescriptions, The Nice Girl Syndrome will show you step by step how to be your own strong woman.
