The Psychology of People Pleasers and How to Stop
from The Mindset Mentor · host Rob Dial
Have you been saying yes to everyone else while quietly saying no to yourself? In this episode, I break down the psychology behind people pleasing, explain why it's actually a survival response your nervous system learned in childhood, and reveal how the little-known "fawn" response keeps you trapped. I'll walk you through a simple three-step process to stop abandoning yourself, set healthier boundaries, and become kind by choice instead of by fear. Join my free live High Performance Workshop on Aug 27th and learn the system top performers use to operate at full capacity without burning out.
