Description

How can women overcome the pressure to please others and feel free to be their true selves? Are you too nice for your own good? Do family members manipulate you? Do coworkers take advantage of you? If any of this sounds familiar, read The Nice Girl Syndrome. In this breakthrough guide, 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. Engel explains that women today simply cannot afford to be Nice Girls, since 'nice girls' are much more likely to be victimised - emotionally, physically, and sexually - than those who are not so 'nice'. She identifies seven different types of Nice Girls and helps you understand which type might apply to you. She helps you determine whether the Nice Girl Syndrome is keeping you in an abusive relationship or in manipulative situations, and helps you challenge and change Nice Girl beliefs and behaviors that are holding you back. It helps you confront the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck in a Nice Girl act as you replace them with healthier, more empowering ones.
