The Life of You – Emma Reed Turrell on How She Keeps Her People Pleasing Persona in Check
from The Life of Bryony
People‑pleasing psychotherapist extraordinaire Emma Reed Turrell is back! In our main episode we talked about why so many of us are terrified of letting people down; now Emma is sharing the three things she personally leans on to keep her own people pleaser in check. We talk about the tiny nudges that help her move from “whatever you like” to “this is what I want”, how she spots the early warning signs in her body, and why the right friendships and family dynamics make all the difference. It’s gentle, honest and weirdly reassuring – like eavesdropping on your therapist’s real life. If you struggle to say no, or slow down, this one’s for you.BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODEMy new book, People Pleaser, and Emma’s book, Please Yourself, are both available to buy now.WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUGot something to share?
