The Cost of Being the Good One: A Therapist's Perspective on Complex PTSD, People Pleasing & Perfectionism

In this episode, trauma therapist Cindy Payne joins me for a casual but powerful conversation about complex PTSD, people pleasing, self-abandonment and the nervous system patterns underneath over-giving and "being the good one." We explore why helping can become identity, how trauma shapes self-worth and relationships, and what it really takes to stop earning love through sacrifice. Something I call the dark side of do-gooding.  Learn more at CindyPayne.com and listen to her podcast Reclaiming Me Podcast. Thank you for listening.
