Episode 21: The People Pleasing Trap: Why and How to Break Free

In this episode, Dr. Laurie Bruce, a clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach, as delves into the pervasive issue of chronic people-pleasing. Drawing from both her professional and personal experiences, Dr. Bruce explores the origins, challenges, and potential solutions for excessive people-pleasing behaviors.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Bruce illustrates how people-pleasing, although often stemming from a good place, can lead to emotional fatigue and burnout when taken to extremes. She shares strategies to build self-awareness and assertiveness, encouraging listeners to pause before automatically committing to others, and to evaluate their own needs first.
