Description
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.

With a heart to reach the ordinary person in the street with the love of Jesus, she co-leads Prayer Cafe outreach. Having two married daughters and five grandchildren to have fun with, life is never dull! Christine Orme is a freelance writer, editor and teacher, and an Anglican Lay Reader. When she has time she enjoys reading, walking, gardening, patchwork and travel. She and her husband Eddie have four adult children and four small grandchildren.
