The Real Truth About People Pleasing
Most people think people pleasing is just about being “too nice” or not wanting to disappoint others, but the truth runs much deeper. For many of us, people pleasing is actually a trauma response - what we psychologists call fawning. It’s how we learned to survive unsafe environments, and it often shows up in ways we don’t even recognize.
In this episode, I share:
- The deeper reasons behind people pleasing that go beyond what you might expect
- The barriers and fears that keep us stuck in these patterns (and what you might feel when you start saying no)
- Tangible ways to begin overcoming people pleasing with God’s help, so you can walk in true freedom
If you’ve ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, terrified of rejection, or unsure who you are apart from meeting others’ needs, this conversation's for you.
