Insight into Assertiveness by Chris Ledger
Break with people-pleasing and build healthy relationshipsFor those who struggle to assert themselves, life can be draining. Often plagued by a need to say 'Yes' to every request, non-assertive people can find they are looking after everyone's needs but their own. This in turn can lead to hidden resentment, frustration and anger. Topics tackled in this book include: The origins of non-assertive behaviour Identifying unhelpful thought patterns Dealing with uncomfortable emotions Accepting who we are in Christ As well as a wealth of straightforward and Bible-based wisdom, this book offers real-life case studies and, at the end of each chapter, suggestions for personal reflection, activities and prayer to help those struggling with a lack of assertiveness or those seeking to help someone they know. The Waverley Abbey Insight Series is based on one-day seminars held by CWR at Waverley Abbey House to give insight into some key issues that many people struggle with today.
The Insight series covers many of the big topics of our time in an accessible and practical wayWe thoroughly recommend them. -- Diane and Patrick Regan
