The nice girl syndrome : stop being manipulated and abused -- and start standing up for yourself
2008
Book
Women who are too nice send the message that they are an easy target to be taken advantage of. Being too nice also prevents women from standing up for themselves and keeps them in unhealthy or even abusive relationships. In this groundbreaking book, Engel, an internationally acclaimed abuse expert, helps women confront the beliefs and behaviors that keep them stuck in their Nice Girl act while replacing them with healthier, more empowering ones. Filled with the stories of women Engel has worked with over the years, this helpful guide offers practical, much-needed advice.
