Are You Mad at Me?: How to Stop Focusing on What Others Think and Start Living for You [Audiobook]

Includes a mindfulness meditation led by the author! From psychotherapist and social media star Meg Josephson, a groundbreaking “cure for chronic people-pleasing” that explores the common survival instinct called fawning and offers “explanations, comfort, and best of all, solutions”. Psychotherapist Meg Josephson is here to show you that people-pleasing is not a personality trait. It’s a common survival mechanism known as “fawning”: an instinct often 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. Are You Mad at Me? weaves Josephson’s own moving story with that of fascinating client stories and thought-provoking exercises to show you how to. With Josephson’s “lucid prose and smart mix of clinical expertise, personal disclosure, and pertinent case studies” (Publishers Weekly), Are You Mad at Me? will help you shed the behaviors that are keeping you stuck in the past so that you can live in your most authentic present.
