Insight into Assertiveness (Waverley Abbey Insight Series)

Break with people-pleasing and build healthy relationships

For 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 Seriesis 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.
