Episode description
I have the privilege of speaking with psychotherapist Kaitlin Soule, LMFT to discuss her insights into the relationship between “people-pleasing” and anxiety. We get clear on what exactly “people-pleasing” is, how these traits develop in an individual, and how anxiety plays a role in maintaining these tendencies. We normalize the struggle, validate common experiences, and offer insights on how to heal with being a "people-pleaser."
This episode dives into:
- How “people-pleasing” behaviors are obtained over time.
- The role that family relationships and family dynamics can play into the development of “people pleasing” traits.
- Patterns and tendencies that build within “people-pleasing” and how they can impact your current relationships.
- Identifying your values in order to take more aligned action and minimize "people-pleasing" behaviors.
