The Approval Trap: Why We Keep Seeking Worth From Others

from Coffee With Hilary and Les from State of Mind Hypnosis and Training Centre · host Hilary & Les

Ask us a Question or Leave a Comment!We start with the weather and end up uncovering why so many of us treat approval like oxygen. We follow the trail from womb and early childhood conditioning to adult people-pleasing, then land on practical reframes for unconditional self-love and real permission to exist. • noticing how nature exists without earning approval • tracing external validation to early survival wiring and attachment • exploring womb experience and emotional imprinting before language • walking through a regression story that explains fear of abandonment • naming conditional self-love and how it shows up as “I’ll be happy when…” • linking worthiness to social norms and the pressure to fit • using “Says who?” to challenge the should monster • adopting the student-and-teacher mindset as a path to self-acceptance If you have any questions, visit our website, drop it in the anonymous question box. See if you can spend the day saying to yourself, I love and approve of myself. Support the showWe  hope this helps a little as you go through your day.We would love to hear your feedback or questions.We will respond to both in future episodes.  Check us out at www.somhypnosis.comJoin our online Community! https://www.skool.com/infinite-mind-school/aboutEmail us [email protected] your own podcast with Buzzsprout!https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1810507Support Coffee With Hilary & Leshttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1829917/support
