Trusting offers of help

Accepting help is hard, asking for it even harder. Do you trust that those who offer it to you, actually want you to take them up on it? What stops you from trusting offers of help? I recently shared on socials about having gastroenteritis, and my baby too, and linked it to a discussion about asking for and accepting help. On my poll sticker, 80% of you answered that you struggle to accept help offered. The difficult thoughts and feelings showing up when someone offers to help you come from the inner critic, that mean inner voice you have telling you off for things. Listen to this short episode to dive a bit deeper into what is behind your reluctance to trust offers of help, and get three affirmations you can use when help is offered and you resist taking it. I also cover how people pleasing is a part of this too.
