Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You can be kind and still say no. In fact, if you cannot say no, your yes stops being kindness and starts being compliance. Stop Getting Pulled In is a practical guide for anyone stuck in the exhausting loop of over-giving, second-guessing, and getting drafted into other people's crises. If you have been trying saying no kindly but keep getting hit with guilt, pressure, or sulking, this book shows how to stay human without being handled. Leila Marbrook helps you recognise manipulation red flags that often hide behind neediness, urgency, charm, or tradition. You will learn how guilt trip boundaries work, why the stop rescuing others shift feels so uncomfortable at first, and how to replace automatic yeses with clear, calm choices. With realistic scenarios and healthy boundaries scripts, you will practise responses that do not invite debate, and you will learn the difference between enabling vs helping so your support builds capacity rather than dependence. This book is for people who value care, loyalty, and community, but want emotional labour balance and relationships that do not run on their constant effort. By the end, you will have a durable lens for choosing what you offer, how you offer it, and when to step back - so your kindness supports reciprocal relationships, not one-sided ones.
