This week we're sharing another podcast that we think you'll enjoy: What Your Therapist Thinks. This episode is about that all too-relatable topic of people pleasing.

Somatic trauma therapist Chloe Bean joins Felicia and Kristie to talk everything people-pleasing. Drawing from her expertise in high-functioning anxiety, Chloe breaks down people-pleasing as a learned trauma response. She explains how it can originate from a childhood need for safety and why prioritizing others leads to resentment and losing yourself.

Some takeaways:

How people-pleasing works as a survival habit

The connection between people-pleasing and losing yourself

How prioritizing others' needs often leads to exhaustion and resentment

Shifting from fear to setting authentic boundaries
