Are You Mad At Me?

By Meg Josephson · Published by Square Peg

Who it's for: Readers who struggle with people-pleasing or seek to understand their social anxiety

Discover the Hidden Patterns of People-Pleasing in Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson Are you constantly questioning whether people like you, worrying if they’re upset with you, or overthinking every social interaction? Renowned psychologist and viral TikTok sensation Meg Josephson offers profound insights into this universal struggle in her transformative book, Are You Mad at Me? Unveiling the Overlooked Trauma Response: While many are familiar with the fight, flight, or freeze responses, Meg introduces readers to a lesser-known fourth response: fawning—the instinct to people-please as a survival mechanism. If you find yourself: Leaving social situations riddled with self-doubt Ignoring your own boundaries to satisfy others Struggling to voice your true desires, even to yourself ...you might be experiencing fawning. A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing: Meg Josephson blends her personal story with compelling case studies and practical exercises to shed light on how people-pleasing behaviors are often rooted in childhood experiences. Contrary to popular belief, people-pleasing isn’t a personality trait—it’s a learned instinct designed to create a sense of safety in the face of perceived threats. In Are You Mad at Me?, you will learn to: Recognise and understand your unique people-pleasing patterns Identify and honour your personal needs Navigate conflicts with confidence Build authentic connections based on self-respect Empower Yourself to Live Authentically: This eye-opening guide will help you break free from the cycle of seeking external validation, empowering you to focus on nourishing your own well-being. Meg Josephson’s compassionate approach inspires readers to embrace their true selves and cultivate genuine, fulfilling relationships. Are You Mad at Me? isn’t just a book—it’s a roadmap to reclaiming your life from the grips of people-pleasing.
