Uncovering Good Girl Conditioning

"Uncovering Good Girl Conditioning" exposes the hidden, social conditioning that contributes to women's ongoing, intergenerational patterns of low self-confidence, anxiety, guilt, shame, people-pleasing, codependent relationships, perfectionism, and self-criticism. Modern women are increasingly expected to fulfill complex, multi-faceted roles in society while also being encouraged to raise their voices and "speak their truth." Tania Manczarek, LCSW, uses this book to uncover and heal the twenty-four traits of Good Girl Conditioning, which are social expectations and patterns that continue to sabotage women's ability to connect to their power. If you want to learn how to stop people-pleasing; release chronic anxiety, perfectionism, guilt, and shame; and have healthy boundaries and be assertive as a woman, this book will show you the way.

In the 21st century, women in every corner of the world struggle with the ability to express their true voices, assert their wants and needs, and understand their inherent value. They face each day with unspoken feelings of chronic guilt, shame, fear, self-judgment, self-criticism, people-pleasing, perfectionism, poor body image, and a lack of self-confidence. Why do women experience these ongoing patterns of feeling inferior or not-good-enough? What is causing women to devalue themselves, their strengths, their abilities, their voices, their minds, their bodies, and their feminine power? More importantly, how can they begin to change these toxic patterns in their lives and embrace the beauty, grace, and wisdom of who they truly are? "Uncovering Good Girl Conditioning" exposes the twenty-four hidden traits of modern social conditioning that continue to quietly undermine and disempower women and girls to this day. Licensed psychotherapist of 20 years, Tania Manczarek, explains each of the traits of Good Girl Conditioning and offers tools, techniques, and guidance to heal these traits within yourself and your life. If you are a woman struggling with low self-worth, anxiety, perfectionism, lack of self-confidence, people-pleasing, irritability, insecurity, guilt, or shame— it's not your fault, and you can choose a new path full of joy and confidence as you discover your feminine gifts and power. "Uncovering Good Girl Conditioning" shows women how to step out of the shadows of their toxic conditioning and realize and embrace the full strength of their feminine gifts.
