Be Yourself—We’ve Got Everyone Else Already

How women can shake off expectations and live more freely

Nearly all women have internalized patterns of thought and behavior that are harmful to them. Education and societal norms have often instilled in them the idea that they live to meet others’ expectations: Be polite. Be caring. Be beautiful. Even successful women find these expectations gnawing away at their self-esteem. In light of such expectations, their abilities and their bodies never seem good enough.
But how can women focus on their competence, their skills, and their potential—in short, on what they really want? In this book, Ulrike Juchmann, a psychologist and psychotherapist presents the most effective tools she has developed in 25 years of working with women. Her special combinations of methods—mindfulness, working on beliefs, and physical exercises—helps women to shed the expectations that are holding them back. This book is an indispensable guide to women looking to be confident and feel secure in their abilities.
