From a young age, women are taught to put the needs of others first. In 'Good Girl Syndrome', psychologist Marta Martínez Novoa reveals the damaging effects of 'good' behaviour, and shows you how to start prioritising yourself once and for all. In this empowering and practical book, Marta will show you that people pleasing is not a personality failing, it's a common trauma response - an instinct to become more appealing to a perceived threat, and a way to feel safe. Taking you on a journey into your past, this book will help you understand why you feel the way you do in the present, and gives you practical tools to build a future where you feel bolder, safer and more confident in everything you do.
