6. People pleasing and relationships with Nicola Kemp
Episode description
In today’s episode I am joined by Nicola Kemp who is a Life and Relationship Coach and Trainee Integrative Therapist. Nicola helps people feel more calm and more confident in their relationship with themselves and with others.
This episode was a no brainer as the main impact of people pleasing is often on our relationships. Nicola talks about how that all relationships are affected by the relationship you have with yourself and we dig into how we can start to meet our own needs and reconnect with ourselves.
We discussed:
- The many ways people pleasing can affect our relationships
- How the fear of being alone can make us pursue unsatisfactory relationships
- What attachment styles are and how people pleasing is related to the anxious attachment styles
- How boundaries and honest communication can strengthen your relationships
- The importance of authentic connection and how expressing your needs can cultivate this
- How to communicate with others in a gentle yet assertive way
- What to do when someone is ignoring your needs in the relationship
- Ways to improve the connection with yourself
- How to cultivate self-compassion and acceptance
