📘 The nice girl syndrome by Beverly Engel

Beverly Engel’s nonfiction work addresses the societal pressure that encourages women to prioritize others at the expense of their own well‑being. Drawing on her experience as a therapist who has assisted thousands in exiting emotionally abusive situations, the book identifies seven distinct profiles of overly nice behavior. Readers learn how to spot these patterns in themselves and assess whether they contribute to manipulative or abusive dynamics. Engaging exercises and real-life examples guide women toward replacing limiting beliefs with empowering actions, fostering self‑esteem, self‑confidence, and healthier interpersonal boundaries.
