Difficult People by Dr. Rebecca Ray, the best-selling author of Setting Boundaries, is the essential guide to coping successfully with those difficult people in your life.
They could be the intimidating boss, a domineering boyfriend, the meddlesome mother-in-law, or an egotistical friend, who cares only about herself. They can take over our lives and make us feel unhappy and depressed.
We dread having to deal with them and feel uncomfortable in their company. We mull over their behaviour long after they’ve gone. Difficult people are like leeches, feeding on our empathy without a thought for our feelings.
In Difficult People, Dr Rebecca Ray demonstrates how to sort the sheep from the goats. She provides us with the tools to deal with them and protect our own state of mind.
Tools, such as learning when to say no, limiting contact with these people, managing our responses to their actions and, if all fails, having the courage to walk away forever!
Dr Ray’s skills at providing this insight and guidance, teaches us to comprehend how another person’s behaviour puts our psychological safety at risk. Also, therefore, the steps that each of us can take to restore our boundaries.
An easy to read, informative and complete guide to releasing oneself from the oppression of a difficult relationship, and, hopefully, avoiding others in the future.
Eye-opening from the get-go and a massive relief to those of us who have ‘put up’ with this kind of behaviour all our lives.
An enormous game-changer and all credit to Dr Ray for this valuable must-read!
