Author Visit: Theresa Drinka: “Stung by 'B's”

Theresa Drinka, licensed clinical social worker, will present her book, Stung By "B"s at a special program at the Waupaca Area Public Library on March 15, at 6:30 pm. A book signing will follow the program. This program is free, open to the public and expected to last about one hour.

From the authors:

"Did you ever have a coworker tell you they want your job and they want you to fail because they know they are far superior to you? It is possible, but not likely. Instead, you might be the recipient of an attack that is much more subtle, a hint of a sneer, a one liner, a critical remark, a sideward glance, or a cold shoulder. The occurrence might be so slight that you question whether it really happened. If a there is a second occurrence, you might start to feel a bit crazy.

In Stung By "B"s we refer to B s. These are people who repeatedly execute manipulative behaviors that lead to social dysfunction. Encounters with B s surprise and sting us when we least expect it. B s operate on a behavioral continuum from mild to severe, from sporadic to frequent, and can be recognized by their patterns."
