Josephson, Meg: Are You Mad At Me?

'A cure for chronic people-pleasing' Adam Grant, author of Think Again

Are you constantly worried about what people think of you? Psychotherapist Meg Josephson explores the common survival instinct fawning and offers explanations, comfort and solutions.

If you ever:

¿ Leave social situations overthinking something you've said
¿ Overlook your own boundaries to make other people happy
¿ Struggle to say what you really want - even to yourself

You might be fawning.

In Are You Mad at Me? Meg challenges the idea that people-pleasing is a personality trait, exposing it to be an instinct learned in childhood to become more appealing to a perceived threat in order to feel safe. Yet many people are stuck in this way of being for their whole lives.

Weaving her own moving story with case studies and thought-provoking exercises, Meg will show you how to identify your needs, rethink conflict and build stronger connections: empowering you to stop focusing on what others think and start living for you.
