People-Pleasing as a Somatic Response
from The Little Love Letter: A Place of Peace in a Chaotic World · host Mia Meincke Nisted
You didn't learn to people-please because you were weak. You learned it because at some point, it kept you safe.Saying yes when you meant no. Smiling when you were falling apart. Reading the room before you'd even taken your coat off. That wasn't a personality flaw. That was your nervous system doing its job.In this episode we talk about why people-pleasing isn't a mindset problem, it's a body problem. And why you can't think your way out of something that was never in your head to begin with.
