Özet

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.

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

'I can count on one hand the books that have settles my nervous system within the first three pages of reading. It's so rare to be able to say: I needed this book, me too, thank you.' Holly Whitaker, author of QUIT LIKE A WOMAN

Was Are You Mad at Me? written especially for me? It sure felt like it. For all the people-pleasers, peacekeepers, and fawners out there: Read this book now.

Enjoyed the book and the way of addressing my actions. I would however have liked more information on how this affects men. Almost every example and therefore action was from a female view point. Men also fall into this. The reaction can also be painful with men sensing weakness and feeding on this. It didn't stop me enjoying the book, I just felt I could have got more from it.

Clear instructions on how to reset and identify your actions.

Really well written and delivered. It’s made me feel more comfortable in my own skin and I will be recommending to some people close to me.

I felt really seen.

A really great book where the author blends her own and some of her anonymised patients stories and backgrounds into a thoughtful exploration of why we fawn. Meg Josephson is really considered and understands that sometime fawning is necessary for survival and that people from particular groups and communities do this naturally in order to not be targeted. There are also some really good techniques and prompts to reflect on and make sure you’re not losing yourself too much amongst the world.

Insightful and hopeful
