Are you a people pleaser? Here's how to stop.

Start here: People Pleasing Pathway (free teaching video) → https://psychevita.com/collection/13961Guided practice access requires PsycheVita membership.People pleasing isn’t just “being nice”.Often, it’s the fawn response — appeasing to stay safe. If you struggle to say no, feel responsible for other people’s emotions, or apologise too much, it may not be your personality. It may be a protective procedure your nervous system learned early: If I keep you happy… I stay safe.In this video, I share the story behind a childhood photo — and how it reveals what people pleasing really is, where it comes from, and how to start breaking free.The 3 core skills this pathway trains (via guided practices):• 8.2 Somatic Attunement• 1.2 Adaptive Emotional Processing• 6.1 Impulse Control (building “small no’s”)If you only do one thing today: Practise the PsycheScriptions once (2–4 mins), then stop. These are trainable skills — not through harsh confrontation or sudden personality change, but through daily micro-practice that gradually teaches the nervous system:I can stay connected… without self-abandoning.
