Are You Mad At Me mostly focuses on the fourth trauma response, fawn.
It goes into detail, in a casual, friendly way, into why we do this, and why it could be affecting us negatively.
Meg Josephson gives the advice with a personal but profession tone, with each chapter building to allow you to build resilience.
With real-world examples, it takes the thinking for your self-improvement from theoretical to practical, which is a lifesaver for books like this.
I think for people who are people-pleasers to a fault like me, it’s a recommended read, as I had a few moments where I realised it wasn’t just me!
