EP151 Craving Approval: How People Pleasing Can Add to the Crazy

Welcome to Episode 151 where we talk about how one of the biggest ways we can create chaos in our life is if we struggle with people-pleasing. 

In this episode we talk about a common and insidious struggle that so many people have – people pleasing behavior.  At its core it is fear-based impression management, that has some hidden costs that are important to look at and can certainly create lots of imbalance in our lives.   It is a longstanding coping skill learned in childhood, and yet can be changed if with some deeper work around boundaries, self-esteem and building the courage to say no.

 Key Elements:

• Identify how people pleasing starts in childhood.
• Discuss some of the hidden costs of this behavior to our relationships and our health.
• Explore how to identify what people-pleasing looks like.

are caused when we are

living to please others.”
