This guide to embracing your true self is “a classic, a masterpiece, yet it is so honest that each time you read it, it speaks with a fresh, new voice” (Hugh Prather, author of The Little Book of Letting Go).
Surrounded by the pressures of society, we often measure ourselves by impossible standards. We see images of idealized women and become scared that our own bodies, personalities, or ambitions do not measure up. Author and therapist Sue Patton Thoele knows what it’s like to be scared and unsure of your place. And she knows how to transform these fears into resilience.
If our days are riddled with negative self-talk, our happiness inevitably suffers. Unhealthy mindsets can also infiltrate our relationships with others. Women, especially, feel the need to be caretakers, looking out for the needs of others and, often, putting those needs above our own. By learning how to identify these patterns, we can target areas that require change in our lives.
In this motivational book, Thoele shares her personal story, as well as other women’s, in order to help readers learn how to journey from a place of fear to a life of courageous self-love and acceptance.
In The Courage to Be Yourself discover how to set boundaries, communicate more effectively, and change self-deprecating behavior patterns. This collection of stories of growth and healing from Thoele and other women come together to make the perfect gift for women of all ages
