Rage Helping and People Pleasing!

In this episode, Finn and Sarah unpack the complexities of people pleasing and its true intentions. They delve into how people pleasing often stems from a desire to control and explore the dynamics of 'rage helping' and its implications. Key Takeaways: - True Intentions: Understand how people pleasing is often more about controlling one's own discomfort rather than genuinely helping others. - Rage Helping: Learn about the concept of rage helping, where help is offered out of frustration rather than kindness. - Control Mechanisms: Explore various ways people may try to control situations and emotions, and how this affects relationships. - Asking Once: Discover the importance of asking for help once and trusting the response you get. Guest: None Quotes: "Part of people pleasing is about control. We're trying to control someone else because we're uncomfortable with what's happening for us." – Sarah "Rage helping is when you resentfully offer help because you can't tolerate the discomfort of watching someone struggle, even if they didn't ask for your help." – Finn Listener Challenge: This week, practice asking for help only once and trust the answer you receive.
