THERAPY FOR PEOPLE-PLEASING INCLUDES A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES:
ANXIETY
CONFLICT-AVOIDANCE
SELF-ESTEEM
NEGATIVE SELF-TALK
ISOLATION
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
BOUNDARIES
GUILT
COMMUNICATION
Working together in therapy, we will create some distance from your thoughts and feelings so you can observe them more clearly. I will help you interpret your inner critic's message and learn healthier ways of responding.
The number one reason people do not set boundaries is fear of someone being mad at them. As a recovering People-pleaser myself, I know what it’s like to feel completely paralyzed by the fear of disappointing others. That's why, as your therapist, we will face it head on.
Here's What It Looks Like:
-
Uncover boundary violations
-
Know when you have a boundary issue
-
Learn to communicate boundaries to others, and ways to follow up with action
-
How to navigate boundary pushback
Oh, and you know all that guilt that usually comes with saying no? We’ll work on managing that too! Because we both know, the "boundary pushers" are out there, and they have A LOT to say about it.
I'll help you look at things from a new perspective, which can help you feel more relaxed and less anxious. We'll work on being kinder to yourself, too!
Therapy can help you let go of sleep-disturbances, negative self-talk, conflict-avoidance, low self-esteem and other anxiety-related behaviors. It allows you to understand your thought process, identify triggers, and learn lifelong coping skills.
Using the tools you gain in therapy, you can manage fear and uncertainty more effectively.
Instead of feeling doomed to live with fear, worry, and self-doubt forever, you can learn how to co-exist with and manage your anxiety in a healthy way. By learning your patterns, you can make lasting changes in your life.
What to Expect
