In this episode of You Time, I sat down with therapist Stephanie Essenfeld of Therapy Untangled to bring to light the common emotions and difficulties that go along with constantly living to please others.
We cover why some of us are pre-conditioned to be people-pleasers, how we got here, and what we can do about it.
If you’ve ever given too much at the expense of yourself, make sure to listen in to this week’s episode where you’ll learn how how to not be a people-pleaser.
It’s equal parts eye-opening and all-too-familiar.
