Welcome to my Blog: All Things People-Pleasing & Therapy
Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no?
Are you running on empty, consistently putting others before your own needs and wellbeing?
Perhaps you’re sick of worrying you don’t fit in and want to stop feeling like you have to mask who you really are?
If any of these resonate, this blog is for you!
As I build this blog, through personal experiences and professional insights, I intend to post relatable and down-to-earth content about the ins and outs of people-pleasing, therapy, and personal growth.
Expect posts covering common causes and drivers of people-pleasing, the signs and consequences, practical tips to tackle unhelpful habits, how to prevent burn-out, common relationship and attachment difficulties and explore the nuances of navigating life as a recovering people-pleaser while normalising therapy along the way.
Whether you're seeking practical tips for setting boundaries, curious about the therapeutic process, or eager to break-free from people—pleasing to embrace and experience authenticity and self-discovery, I hope you find my posts helpful and empowering.
If you have a topic you want to learn more about feel free to contact me.
The Pitfalls of People-Pleasing: Why it’s Time to Break Free
For most of my life, I carried an inflated sense of responsibility for others and found myself trapped in a cycle of people-pleasing. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but it was as if my self-worth hinged on my ability to cater to everyone else’s needs and gain their approval. I was starting to feel resentful. I knew something had to change.
