*THE BOOK THAT EXPOSES THE SINISTER SECRET BEHIND OUR FOREVER FATIGUE AND SHOWS YOU HOW TO BREAK THE CYCLE ONCE AND FOR ALL*
‘The therapist you need in your corner’ – Julia Raeside
‘Captures the lives of women today like no other I’ve read’ – Marianne Power

Are you tired of round-the-clock unpaid labour?
Are you juggling impossible responsibilities?
Are you the combined peace envoy, diplomat and mediator?
Are you exhausted from dimming yourself down?
Do you feel like all you do is try, only to end up feeling a deep sense of shame or failure?

We’ve heard about The Load. We’ve heard about Emotional Burden. We’ve heard about boundaries, saying ‘No’ and asking for help. Of those who present ‘fatigued’ to a GP, 67% are women. But how do we really tackle our tendency to solve and people-please, self-erase, shrink and sacrifice ourselves?

Part-polemic, part-pragmatic, Women Are Tired scrutinises the reality that women are hiding behind: that carrying The Load might be the only sense of control we can muster, faced with a world hell bent on our destruction. It asks the deep, uncomfortable questions we’ve avoided, and outlines how to say no when everything in us is screaming, ‘It’s just easier to do it myself!’

Through real-client stories and practical frameworks, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox confronts the civil war raging inside of us, which translates into an attack on ourselves and other women and prevents us forming crucial, female-focused ‘Old Boy’ networks of our own.

A long-awaited and daring wake-up call, Women Are Tired shows you how to keep going when you feel you no longer can, exposes concepts like ‘the workaround’, and shows us how we can reverse what’s happened to us. Perhaps, most importantly, it calls on those around us to also shoulder their share.
