You were raised to be agreeable, helpful, and easy to like. You were never told what it would cost.

Good girls get praised. They also get overlooked, over-relied upon, and quietly resented when they finally ask for something. The conditioning is so ordinary that most women never recognise it as conditioning at all, only as who they are.

This book looks at how that training meets the fawn response, and how it plays out specifically in motherhood, marriage, female friendship, and the workplace. Putting yourself first will feel wrong long before it feels right, and that feeling is not a sign you are doing it badly.

The Good Girl Wound is Book Seven of The People Pleaser Recovery Series.

For women who are exhausted by being the reliable one and ready to define their worth on their own terms.
