About this episode
People-pleasing tendencies tend to begin in early childhood and often stem from insecure attachment. From childhood forward, we often learn to please others to obtain love, avoid conflict, and feel safe. Yet when we compromise our values and needs in order to please others, we lose touch with our inner selves and often pay the price through ongoing anxiety, depression, stress, and disempowerment. Whether you feel like a doormat or tend to appease others to avoid conflict, you can learn how to create new, healthy patterns that benefit your overall well-being and your relationships.
