How & Why You People Please & Care Too Much - Plus Therapy Interventions to Stop
About this episode
In today's episode, we're exploring people-pleasing and why it so often comes at the cost of losing yourself.
We'll unpack what people-pleasing really is, the subtle and obvious ways it can show up, and why it often leaves us feeling anxious, worried, exhausted, and disconnected from our own needs.
We'll also explore why these patterns develop, how they are often rooted in similar beliefs/experiences. Most importantly, we'll look at how you can begin to challenge these patterns so you can care deeply about others without abandoning yourself in the process.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The key signs of people-pleasing and self-abandonment
• How anxiety, worry, and a fear of rejection fuel people-pleasing behaviours
• Why caring too much about others can lead to losing yourself
• 4 Practical steps to break free from people-pleasing and build healthier boundaries
