When your sense of self lives in other people’s reactions, life can start to feel like a constant evaluation.

A small comment can feel like criticism. Silence can feel like rejection. And comparison quietly creeps in.

Many people-pleasers develop a strong awareness of others, which can be a real strength. But over time this outward focus can make it harder to trust our own voice.

Rebuilding self-worth often begins with gently shifting the focus back inward — asking what you think, what you feel, and what matters to you.

I explore this more in my latest blog about why people-pleasers often rely on external validation and how we can begin reconnecting with our own internal compass.

You can read the full blog via the link in my bio.

And if you’d like reflections like this delivered weekly, you’re always welcome to join The Friday Pause newsletter (link in bio)

Many people who struggle with people-pleasing unknowingly base their sense of self on how others react to them.

Praise can feel reassuring, while criticism can quickly turn into self-doubt. Over time, we can begin to read other people’s reactions as information about who we are.

In reality, other people’s responses are influenced by their own mood, expectations, and internal world. They were never meant to define our worth.

In my latest blog I explore why people-pleasers often look outside themselves for validation, how comparison and feedback can shape self-worth, and how we can begin reconnecting with our own internal voice.

If this resonates, you can read the full blog via the link in my bio.

Throughout March in The Friday Pause newsletter I’m also exploring the theme of boundaries without guilt — why they feel so difficult and how we can begin holding them with more confidence and self-respect. Sign-up link in bio ☺️

I’m really enjoying my training to become a supervisor. The work is so fascinating, and of course it’s so important that counsellors have the space to think about their work.

I’m gradually making up my training hours but I’d love to work with others for my learning… and of course, my hours!

Please get in touch if you’re interested and need to make up some supervision hours. Please pass it on in case you know other counsellors who might be interested 🙏☺️

Thank you to all for your support this year. For your likes, follows, saves, shares and engagement.

A special mention to my clients who are committing to themselves and engaging in therapy… the work can be difficult, but also transformative, I hope. I am honoured and privileged to work with you all.

Wishing everyone a wonderful festive season, full of calm, peace, safety, fun and connection - and the odd bit of chaos, I’m sure!

I’m out of here until the 30th! Lots of love ###
