Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The pen you pick up when you're already drowning is a signature on a contract you never agreed to read, andwhat happens next depends on whether you learn to put it down. Tamsin Stanhope's insightful book explores theautomatic "yes" that costs you sleep, career momentum, and the ability to honor what you actually need.When someone asks for your time, the request stops being neutral and becomes a test of whether you're willingto disappoint them. Communication Skills for Recovering People-Pleasers is not a script book, aconflict-avoidance manual, or a guide to being nicer. Instead, it unpacks the psychological mechanisms that turnevery ask into an obligation, showing you what your automatic compliance actually costs.Through relatable scenarios from breakrooms to dinner tables, you will explore the hidden dynamics ofpeople-pleasing: - The Automatic Pen: Why your hand reaches for the signup sheet before your brain registers you'reovercommitted, and how that reflex undermines the work that matters.- The Nobody-Asked Contract: Why you honor commitments never explicitly requested, and howunspoken obligations drain energy you could redirect toward your own priorities.- The Non-Negotiable Override: Why saying no without apology feels impossible, and how reframingboundaries as self-preservation changes what you're willing to protect.This book gives you the psychological awareness to catch the reflex before your hand signs, the reframing toolsto interrupt compliance patterns in real time, and the language to communicate boundaries without the apologyreflex taking over. Start reading Communication Skills for Recovering People-Pleasers today and reclaim thetime, energy, and authority you've been giving away one automatic yes at a time.
