Welcome to "The Compassionate Mind Podcast," where we explore topics related to self-compassion, personal growth, and emotional well-being. In this episode, we delve into the intricate dynamics of people pleasing.

Many of us learn to be people pleasers from a young age as a means to cope with feelings of shame. By seeking approval and validation from others, we attempt to avoid the pain of rejection and disconnection. However, despite our efforts to please others, we often find ourselves still driven by underlying feelings of inadequacy and shame.

In this insightful episode, we confront the paradox of people pleasing: while it may temporarily alleviate feelings of shame, it ultimately perpetuates a cycle of self-doubt and insecurity. We explore the roots of people pleasing behavior and its impact on our mental and emotional well-being.

But fear not, for this podcast is not just about identifying the problem; it's about finding solutions. We discuss practical strategies and tools to overcome the patterns of people pleasing, fostering a greater sense of self-compassion and authenticity. By cultivating a deeper understanding of ourselves and our worth, we can gradually break free from the grip of people pleasing and embrace a more fulfilling way of living.

Tune in as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, offering insights and guidance to help you reclaim your sense of worth and live a life guided by compassion, both for yourself and others.
