🎬 VIDEO SUMMARY
There are good reasons why it’s so hard to stop people-pleasing. It’s not as easy as “just set boundaries.” In this video, I talk about the psychology of people-pleasing: the deep roots behind it, the hidden barriers that make it hard to stop, and the beliefs and emotions that keep it going today—all so you can understand what’s driving it, and what’s been getting in the way of breaking free.


📌 ABOUT ME & MY CHANNEL
If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dawn Ascanio. I help driven but drained women stop people-pleasing so they can live with more ease and peace. As a therapist for over 17 years and now a therapeutic coach, I’ve helped countless women overcome emotional burnout from behaviors in the people-pleasing family (like over-achieving, over-performing, over-helping, over-giving, etc.) so they can reclaim their time, energy, and mental bandwidth to focus on what matters most to them—and I’ve done this in my own life as well. My channel is all about sharing insights and practical strategies toward this end.
