In Are You Mad at Me?, Meg Josephson explores “fawning”—the overlooked fourth trauma response behind people-pleasing. She reframes people-pleasing not as a personality flaw but as a survival instinct rooted in childhood experiences of volatility or emotional neglect—learned strategies to feel safe. Through personal memoir, clinical insight, and client stories, Meg Josephson guides readers to recognize when they are overextending, identify their habitual roles (like peacemaker or perfectionist), and uncover the longing beneath the compulsion to appease.

With an empathetic and clear therapeutic tone, Meg Josephson offers more than just awareness: she delivers practical exercises and boundary-building techniques to help readers lean back in relationships, rethink conflict as growth, and reclaim authenticity. Her compassionate reframing helps readers stop defining themselves by others’ expectations and instead start living boldly for themselves—ending cycles of anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment.
