Overcome People-Pleasing

This is for you if you often feel that you have to say yes to others, you find it difficult to say no, and you end up constantly putting your needs aside in order to please others. As a result, you feel resentment afterwards, and so you feel trapped in this repeating cycle. You might be one of these people that feel like you have to always be polite even when your boundaries are being crossed and maybe you feel the need to over-explain just to make sure that you are not being misunderstood. You may find it difficult to even identify your own needs and are afraid that if you focus on your needs you will be selfish and therefore you frequently say “I don’t mind, whatever you want” when others ask what should you do or what do you prefer. All these reactions come from the pattern of People Pleasing. But people pleasing is a protection mechanism rather than a personality trait. It’s just that many of us have been doing it since we were very young and so it feels like it is who we are, while in reality it helped us survive in the past. It’s just that now, it prevents us from living authentically as ourselves. It is time to embark on this journey of unpacking this brilliant mechanism and supporting it now to feel safer so that your true self can be expressed again. I am Stefi - A personal development coach and in this course, I will guide you through this process, so that you better understand the pattern of people pleasing - and start shifting it on an unconscious level. This course first begins to explore People Pleasing and its origins - how it serves us and how it costs us our authenticity at the same time, and then carries on with a couple of guided practices to help you make shifts on a subconscious level while honouring the brilliance of your system. I’ll see you there.
