Therapy for People-Pleasing
You don’t have to keep abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
Have You Been Taught That Your Worth Comes from Being “Good”?
Somewhere along the way, you learned that meeting others’ needs made you lovable. Maybe you were praised for being easygoing, always helping, or never making a fuss. Maybe love felt conditional—only given when you were agreeable, accommodating, or didn’t take up too much space.
Now, you struggle to say what you actually want. You second-guess yourself constantly, scanning for how others feel before you even check in with yourself. You worry about being too much or not enough.
You might find yourself wondering:
Why do I feel anxious whenever someone is disappointed in me?
Why do I feel guilty for resting, saying no, or putting myself first?
Do I even know what I want, outside of what others expect?
Why do I feel responsible for managing everyone else’s emotions but struggle to express my own?
How do I stop feeling selfish for wanting things for myself?
There is hope. Therapy can help.
It may feel far away right now, but you can improve your relationship and feel grounded in yourself again.
Therapy can help you:
Unlearn the “good girl” conditioning so you no longer feel responsible for managing others’ comfort at your own expense.
Identify & express your own wants and needs without the fear of disappointing others.
Set boundaries without guilt—not as a wall but as a way to build closer, more authentic relationships.
Trust yourself again so you don’t have to overthink every decision or seek external validation.
Heal the younger version of you who believed love had to be earned by being easy, agreeable, or self-sacrificing.
You don’t have to prove your worth. You don’t have to shrink yourself to be loved. Let’s rewrite this story together.
