具体描述
Peace-at-any-price people are polite, generous, passive beings who: --Value peace above all else. --Try to avoid arguments, disagreements and fights. --Fear anger. --Have a history of childhood abuse, abandonment or neglect. --Put other people's wants and needs ahead of their own. --Silently dislike aggressive people. --Do not like to ask for what they want. --Attract aggressive partners. --Stuff their feelings. --Avoid making decisions that affect others (i.e., choose movies, restaurants, etc.) But walking on eggshells, giving in and swallowing feelings do not give them the peace they so desperately crave. Instead, they lead chaotic, hectic, hellish lives. Their eager-to-please personalities are the underlying cause of their need to under or over eat, to abuse alcohol and drugs, and to find other ways to run from life. Poor reveals her own experiences and acquired strengths, as well as those of others who have successfully overcome the ?please disease.?
