Who did you have to be as a kid to get your parents' love?

Aaron Doughty asks Lewis that question and the whole conversation cracks open from there.

He explains why "I'm a people pleaser" is a lie you've been telling yourself. It's not who you are. It's a pattern you built to survive your childhood.

Aaron gets specific about his own story, an ex-stepmom, a house where keeping the peace felt like life or death, and how that turned into a lifelong habit of absorbing other people's tension as his own. He names exactly who people pleasers attract without realizing it. 

Takers. People who are impossible to please. People you feel responsible for fixing.

Then he goes somewhere most conversations about boundaries never go, into the anger you've been suppressing under all that niceness, and why touching that anger is the actual doorway to freedom.
