The Quest for Emotional Independence
Sandra Michaelson
264 pages. Quality Paperback
Do you compulsively seek approval, compare yourself to
others, and find it difficult to receive?
Do you feel responsible for others, sacrifice yourself to serve their needs, and take the blame for what goes wrong?
If you resonate with these behaviors, you are running an Emotional Catering Service. Discover your hidden agenda for self-deprival and the reasons behind your avoidance and fear of intimacy. Learn about the emotional factors that contribute to your passive stance to life.
Without being selfish, we can act according to what is in our best
interests, while getting others to respond to us with more respect and
sensitivity.
Emotional caterers harbor deep within themselves the pain of not feeling
loved or appreciated for who they are. Through the knowledge in this book,
you learn to appreciate yourself for who you are rather than for what
you do. You learn to avoid taking things personally and to be able to
dissipate feelings of anger, dissatisfaction, and helplessness. In this
process, you acquire the ability to define clearly what you want, to express
that to others with power and conviction, and to live by your own inner
voice.
