Therapy for People Pleasing
Is People-Pleasing Leaving You Feeling Stuck, Drained, and Overwhelmed?
People-pleasing is more than just trying to make others happy—it's a complex struggle that affects different aspects of your life. The constant pressure to meet everyone's expectations can be exhausting, leaving you emotionally and physically drained.
It can interfere with your ability to concentrate and even disrupt your sleep. If you often find yourself overthinking past events or worrying about the future, it's a sign that people-pleasing might be taking a toll on your well-being.
Living with the burden of always wanting to please everyone can be challenging, leading to a sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed and maybe even resentful. At In-Balance Psychotherapy, we understand this struggle, and that's why we offer specialized People-Pleasing Therapy.
Our therapy is designed to help you break free from this cycle by exploring the roots of your people-pleasing tendencies. We aim to empower you to regain control of your life, fostering healthier relationships with yourself and others. It's a transformative process that can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Saying 'yes' when you want to say 'no'
Constantly seeking approval from others
Avoiding conflict at all costs
Sacrificing your own needs for the sake of others
Feeling anxious or guilty when asserting yourself
People-pleasing can show up in various ways:
Emotional and Physical Toll:
Irritability and anger
Exhaustion and guilt
Shame and depression
Impatience and feeling "out of control"
These patterns can hinder your ability to be present in the moment, affecting your relationships and preventing you from doing the things you love. This constant struggle can leave you feeling exhausted, stressed, and stuck in a seemingly unending cycle.
