Do you struggle to speak up during an argument? Do you please others so they'll like you? Perhaps you prefer to seek approval instead of making your own decisions or feel wounded by hurtful treatment but don't know how to prevent it. If you do these or anything similar, this book was written for you and for women who want to reduce their self-doubt, anxiety, stress, depression, or unhappiness. Caring, thoughtful women are often sought out by people who are manipulative, harmful, or domineering: those who use deliberate strategies to get what they want regardless of the harm they cause.You can discover how to overcome the doubts, fears, and restrictive beliefs that stifle your power. First, you'll learn how to identify the five forms of anger and which ones you and the people in your life use. The one constructive and protective form of anger is Assertive anger. Assertive anger can range from a firm No to survival force action. There are two angers that restrict genuine power: Defensive anger and Suppressed anger. And there are two angers that are used to manipulate, bully, or dominate: Narcissistic and Defensive anger. By identifying which angers people use, you can tailor your responses to them.When you discover what suppresses your personal power, you can strengthen nine personal skills and capabilities. You'll learn to reconnect yourself to your self-belief, determination, and intuition, so you can fortify your responses with Assertive anger with the required strength for each situation.Like the people whose stories are told within these pages, if you want to increase your personal power so you can assert yourself and protect your rights, you'll find that you are capable of profound, enduring change. By identifying the relationship between power and the five forms of anger, you can replace disempowering thoughts, emotions, and behaviours with empowering ones. These will generate the clarity and conviction to activate your Assertive anger so you can shape your life as you choose. Ignite Your Power aims to awaken that which is already within you.This book is written in everyday language with many examples.
