Don't Take It Personally!

In Don't Take It Personally! psychologist Elayne Savage takes an innovative look at how fear of rejection can affect every aspect of our lives. She helps readers identify the invasiveness and pervasiveness of rejection in their lives and understand why they react the way they do to certain words or looks or tones of voice. She shows how to recognize the power of negative messages that were received in childhood and understand how these dynamics repeat themselves in adult interactions. Readers will learn how to depersonalize their responses, establish boundaries that protect them from hurt, identify their real needs, recognize their options, and develop a new self-acceptance and self-confidence.
