People pleasing shows up in all areas of our life. In this video I share how it showed up for me when I worked at a crisis agency. I said yes to extra work without checking in with myself if it was actually manageable. I’m offering a workshop on April 18th to help others understand how people pleasing shows up in the different areas of their life and how to change it. Link is in the bio.

As a hockey mom to my daughter I have been delighted to see that these young women are not concerned about bring ‘nice’. For me growing up this was something I focused heavily on; always being kind. I’m offering a workshop on April 18 on ways to reduce this behaviour as it takes so much from us. Link to register is in the bio.

Sometimes as Highly Sensitive people, we are pulled towards others that are suffering. Because of our need to be helpful we often end up in relationships with people who need help.

At first it can feel quite good to be supportive to someone we care deeply about. But if this person we are in a relationship with continues to need more and more, regardless of how much we give, we can start to feel burned out.

I grew up with 6 siblings so I learned not to add more to my mom’s plate. This reinforced my people pleasing behaviour. Join my workshop on April 18 to learn more on why we people please and how to change this behaviour.

I’m working hard to create the People pleasing workshop on April 18th at 10am. There is a high cost to this behaviour. The essence of who we are essentially has to be invisible. After years of this behaviour we are often shut down, angry and feel lost. This workshop will help you make sense of this and offer a solution lab on how to live differently.

Sometimes people pleasing behaviour is invisible. It’s how we censor ourselves so we don’t upset others. But this means there is part of us that’s not in the relationship. This is our opinions, needs and wants. It can help to avoid conflict but it feels awful over time.

People pleasing that’s done automatically means there often is a part of us that remains outside of relationships. This is the part that has wants and needs. When this part is excluded it can leave the relationship quite fragile.

- You know it’s not safe to say what you need.
- You wonder what mood your partner will be in when you get home.
- You read the text for tone to see if they might be upset.
- You change your reactions according to the mood of your partner.

As HSP’s we sometimes find ourselves in unhealthy relationships, characterized by how much we give and how much the other person takes. We read their mood and adjust accordingly. We keep our thoughts to ourselves to reduce the chance of conflict.

These relationships can be very confusing. We love this person immensely but it seems that there is no space for us. If we ask for more of what we need we are criticized, ignored, or given promises of change that never happen.

Do we stay? Do we go?

These are struggles I help my clients with. If you are seeking help and live in Alberta or Ontario feel free to book a free consult.

When we’re more sensitive we tend to people please. It’s quite natural for us to take care of others but when we see people suffering we want to do whatever we can do they feel better. This might mean we are entering a pattern of over giving with a person who doesn’t give enough. Link in the bio to register.

Many quiet anxious people struggle with friendships. This is really hard. And it can change.
