Woman Overboard!
Six Ways Women Avoid Conflict and One Way to Live Drama-Free
- How escaping awareness about our needs that are in conflict with other people’s needs leads us into mind-numbing overwhelm.
- Why distracting from difficult conversations keeps us confused and powerless to change the situation.
- How we beat ourselves up to try to conform to what other people expect of us and yet still never manage to adapt enough to make everyone happy.
- Why trying to “nice-over” your irritations leads to the exact type of teeth-clenching passive-aggression that everyone hates.
- How not taking accountability for getting your needs met leads you to blaming others and perpetuating the drama cycle.
- Why all of these unsuccessful avoidance techniques ultimately lead to completely disconnecting from the truth of who you are and walking through life shut down.
- And most importantly, how to take your happiness into your own hands by stopping the drama and self-sabotage and speaking up with power, authenticity and compassion.
This book is for women who are ready to disarm their triggers around conflict and step fully into their personal and professional leadership. Psychotherapist Rachel Alexandria guides readers to free themselves of resentments and bring their clear desires into the light.
Reviews from Clients
Rachel Alexandria is a soul surgeon who uses her compassion, education, and experience to identify and excise the problem women have with conflict. ‘Woman Overboard!’ is warm, direct, practical and helpful. Much like the woman herself. This recovering ‘Good Girl’ can’t wait to read it again!
"The courage to engage in difficult conversations is easier when you feel more skilled and confident about your ability to have a productive conversation. ‘Woman Overboard!’ is a useful and practical tool to not only gain the courage you need, but also gives you the real life applicable skills to navigate the stormy waters of your toughest of conversations."
"I am so happy that this ‘gold mine’ material is finally in book form and accessible to the world. As a recovering ‘Good Girl’ who directly coaches many women, I can tell you that Rachel has created a profound process that guides women to understanding what happens inside of them during triggering events and potential difficult situations so that ‘conflict’ (or the idea of it) no longer has to be so debilitating or all consuming of our energy. I will be giving my clients this book. ‘Woman Overboard!’ is an easy read full of takeaways, wisdom, reflective space, and workable strategies. Her descriptions and drawings hit home and her process is unique and groundbreaking. As someone who’s intimately known her work (I’ve been through the process myself) I can tell you she’s the real deal and her work is indeed healing."
