Nope - 22 psychotherapeutic paths to a healthy "no"

Are you among the many, many people who struggle to say "No"? Do you often say "Yes" even when you mean "No" - just to maintain harmony and avoid conflict at all costs?
If so, you're likely familiar with the steep price of this behavior: steadily sinking self-esteem, increasing overload from imposed extra tasks, and an ever more desperate situation.
And rather than improving relationships with loved ones, this constant "Yes"-saying actually makes them worse. In trying to please everyone, not only do you neglect yourself, but you also lose something crucial: respect! Every "Yes" that should have been a "No" paves a path that - in the worst-case scenario - can even lead to burnout and depression. While psychotherapy can help find a way out and, among other things, teach how to say "No" when you mean it, it doesn't have to reach that point! Because a clear, kind, diplomatic "No" is really not rocket science. This book, in 22 chapters as informative as they are entertaining, outlines a wealth of psychotherapeutic principles, tools, and exercises that will gradually pave the way to a healthy "No." It shows how, by strengthening your own boundaries, you can not only protect your self-esteem and reduce your burden but also build more authentic and respectful relationships.
