You don’t need a therapist for “people pleasing.” You need someone to help you understand why it feels impossible to stop.
If you’re always anticipating everyone else’s needs…
If you say yes when you want to say no…
If setting a boundary makes you feel selfish—or worse, afraid someone will leave…
That’s not just a bad habit. That’s a protective pattern rooted in something deeper.
What We’ll Work on Together in Therapy
Understanding why you feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy—even at your own expense
Unpacking the past trauma that’s kept you from feeling safe enough to be your full, true self with others
Navigating the fear that people will think you’re selfish for finally setting boundaries
Sitting with the discomfort of disappointing someone without rushing to fix it
This isn’t about becoming “less nice.” It’s about becoming more you.
