En savoir plus sur le livre

Do you find yourself keeping the peace at a high emotional cost? Do attempts to resolve differences with a controlling person leave you feeling exhausted? If your best traits—goodness, kindness, cooperation—seem to backfire against an overbearing counterpart, this book offers valuable insights. Drawing on decades of experience as a psychotherapist, Dr. Les Carter shares real-life stories from individuals grappling with controlling demands. He explains that everyone has a tendency toward controlling behavior, but maturity typically reduces these traits. People pleasers, inherently loving and respectful, can enhance their maturity. However, when they clash with controlling individuals, they often regress into power struggles characterized by coercion, shaming, and defensiveness. Dr. Carter illustrates how real-life pleasers established relationship boundaries by developing assertiveness, reducing defensiveness, and overcoming false guilt to foster inner trust. This journey encourages readers to set their own pace in life rather than allowing a controller to dictate their actions, ultimately inspiring them to reclaim their emotional well-being.
