Stop people pleasing - you are not designed for everyone to like you.

from From my Counselling years to your listening ears. Hello and welcome. · host Heidi Lester

Over the past ten years, I've noticed a significant increase in people presenting with concerns about people-pleasing tendencies. The desire to be liked, to avoid rejection, and to feel a sense of belonging can lead to various challenging emotions. Yes, it comes from being kind, but let me explain the difference between the motivations behind your people-pleasing tendencies. We will look at why you behave this way and what you can do to become a more assertive, genuine version of yourself. Once you start setting boundaries, saying no, and stop over-apologising you are setting yourself free from anxiety, low self-esteem and fear.
