Somehow I Found Myself in Her Bed

How do you know when someone is truly sorry? Have you found yourself being convinced to give a friend, lover, or relative another "second chance," then, after that, only to be hurt or betrayed again? This tongue in cheek book helps the reader understand when language is used to explain bad behavior and how many of us fall for the explanation. While the book is humorously written as a "how to be irresponsible" book it actually is intended to help the reader understand how irresponsible people manipulate others. Popular and various maneuvers are examined, such as, "I was only trying to do the right thing," "He (or she) started it," and the current adolescent cry of "I'm bored" are examples. Furthermore, while written as humor, this book tells how to recognize both sides of rescuing behavior. Examples of how of an irresponsible person encourages advice giving is examined, such as "You are so wise," and "Please tell me what to do." In this book the reader learns how an irresponsible person manipulates others in order to avoid taking the asked for advice. The pitfalls of giving advice are included. The final focus of the book is on how to recognize when actual change has occurred. There are examples of questions that can be asked as well as what responses will indicate expected future change.King, Judith St. is the author of 'Somehow I Found Myself in Her Bed' with ISBN 9781418407315 and ISBN 1418407313.
