People-Pleasing Isn’t Kindness — It’s Fear.

People-pleasing can feel automatic — especially when saying no feels dangerous. In this video, we’ll unpack the emotional roots of people-pleasing — why it starts, why it feels impossible to stop, and the importance of building resilience to handle emotional discomfort.

If you feel guilty every time you set a boundary, this video is for you.

You’ll learn:
-Why people-pleasing is really about avoiding emotional pain
-How rejection, conflict, and fear shape our people-pleasing habits
-The mindset shift that helps you stop avoiding discomfort

The truth is: stopping people-pleasing isn’t about being selfish — it’s about learning that you can survive emotional discomfort. When you trust your ability to face uncomfortable feelings, you reclaim your freedom to make your own choices.

If this resonates, consider working with a counselor who can help you uncover the emotions you’re avoiding and build emotional resilience.
