I share what I have learned about people pleasing, self-sabotage, and some journal questions I have asked myself to notice when, how, why I don't show up for myself authentically and how to remove myself from unhealthy dynamics.
Unlearning people-pleasing Journal Responses:
How has other peoples' people pleasing and fawning affect me?
When do I people please and why?
How do I feel after I people please for others?
What kinds of people trigger my compulsion to people please? How does fear play a part?
Can I be friends with them or do I need to remove myself?
Is this a now or never thing?
How do I learn to accept fully -- even around those who make me feel unsafe -- that my boundaries are valid and necessary for my mental health?
What relationships -- in my life or in the past -- might have looked different if I started setting healthy boundaries?
