How to Stop Losing Yourself In Others | Ep 282
from The Reality Check Podcast · host Zachary Phillips
This talk is for the people pleasers. It offers insight into why we struggle to say no, set boundaries, and why we lose ourselves in others.It explores people-pleasing as a survival response, how the fear of conflict and disappointment can disconnect us from our own needs, values, and identity, and what we can do to begin changing these patterns. Through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, assertive communication, and reconnection with the parts of ourselves we once pushed aside, we can gradually learn to stand up for ourselves without shutting others out, becoming overwhelmed by them, or remaining trapped in the traumatic past they may trigger.Links Mentioned:Intuitive GuidanceDialectical Behavior Therapy Cheat SheetWhat Do You Value?Want to work with me?
