People-Pleasing As Survival: Inner Child Healing
by Abi Beri
A talk-style meditation for those who struggle with chronic people-pleasing, saying no, and prioritising their own needs. This meditation offers a different approach than typical boundary-setting advice. We'll explore: - Why people-pleasing is a nervous system adaptation, not a character flaw - How your body learned to override its "no" to stay safe - The cost of being "the easy one" in your family - Meeting the inner child who believed love was conditional - Somatic practices for witnessing without fixing - Family constellation perspective on inherited patterns BEST FOR: - People who've been called "too nice" or "too accommodating" - Those who struggle with guilt when saying no - Anyone who feels resentful about always putting others first - Those healing codependency patterns - Anyone whose inner work hasn't addressed why people-pleasing developed
