The Hidden Cost Of A Habit That Looks Harmless: People Pleasing 🌱

People-pleasing feels like connection, but it often erodes it. When we hide our true needs to keep the peace, we lose both intimacy and self-respect.

The drive to gain approval or avoid rejection can become a trap. Instead of fostering closeness, it creates distance and resentment over time.

At Bluffview, our team helps clients untangle these patterns so they can show up with honesty, boundaries, and authenticity in their relationships.

S*xuality is often where disconnection shows up first.
Secrets, betrayal, and compulsive behaviors erode trust — in relationships and within oneself.

Addiction distorts intimacy.
What should be a source of vitality can turn into cycles of secrecy, shame, and avoidance.

When s*x becomes a way to manage pain, anxiety, or loneliness, the costs compound.
Intimacy feels unsafe.
Connection grows strained.
Identity becomes confused.

These struggles are rarely about s*x alone — they are about regulation, attachment, and the ways people learn to cope when life feels overwhelming.

At Bluffview Counseling, our team includes Certified S*x Addiction Therapists (CSATs) trained to work with the complex dynamics of secrecy, betrayal, and s*xual compulsivity.

Our practice is diverse — offering therapy for trauma, relationships, anxiety, and growth beyond this specialty.

Support is available to move from isolation into clarity, accountability, and more authentic connection.

“Betrayal is, fundamentally, any act or life choice that doesn’t prioritize the commitment and put the partner ‘before all others.’” — John M. Gottman

Secrecy can feel small—but when our choices place other priorities ahead of our partner, that’s where betrayal begins. Trust fractures not always in grand events, but often in the quiet drift of unspoken truths.

Secrecy evolves into betrayal trauma—showing up through hypervigilance, shame, and disruptions to relational safety.

At Bluffview Counseling, we provide a clinical, trauma-informed space to help you:
• Process the emotional legacy of secrecy and betrayal
• Rebuild trust and meaningful boundaries
• Restore safety and authenticity in connection

Healing begins when intention shifts—rekindling shared commitment and repairing what’s been hidden.

Po*******hy and platforms like OnlyFans are reshaping intimacy, connection, and relationships. For some, use stays casual. For others, it escalates into compulsive behavior—fueling secrecy, shame, and broken trust.

Research shows that compulsive p**n or subscription use can:
• Increase divorce risk
• Erode intimacy
• Create betrayal trauma for partners

This isn’t about morality—it’s about loss of control, avoidance, and disconnection.

That’s where the CSAT (Certified S*x Addiction Therapist) process comes in.
✅ Assessment: understanding the scope of use
✅ Accountability: building honesty and structure
✅ Repair: addressing partner betrayal trauma
✅ Healing: learning healthy intimacy and regulation

At Bluffview Counseling, our CSAT-trained therapists support individuals and couples through recovery and rebuilding trust.

👉 Addiction thrives in secrecy. Healing begins with truth.

Self-esteem isn’t built on achievements or external approval.
It’s the internal recognition of your own inherent worth—what Pia Mellody calls “preciousness.”

When we develop healthy self-esteem, we can hold a balanced view of ourselves: acknowledging strengths and limitations without shame or inflated pride. This allows us to navigate relationships and challenges from a place of stability rather than seeking constant validation.

Say hello 👋🏽 to one of our primary therapist, Sarah Gammage-Ramm 💡:

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate dedicated to supporting individuals through their healing journey. I work with adults and adolescents on issues including betrayal trauma, problematic s*xual behavior, relationship challenges, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and the belief that healing happens in safe, supportive relationships.

Inspired by my own recovery, I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University–Commerce. I’ve worked with clients facing trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, and more, using trauma-informed modalities such as Internal Family Systems and EMDR.

I hold certifications and training as a National Certified Counselor, CSAT, CCPS Candidate, Connected Recovery Disclosure Specialist, and EMDR-trained clinician.

08/09/2025

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess unhealed or distressing memories so they no longer have the same emotional charge.

Through bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements—EMDR works to reduce the intensity of trauma-related memories and supports the brain in filing them away in a more adaptive, less distressing way.

It is commonly used to address PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, grief, and self-worth issues.
When the brain is able to reprocess these experiences, clients often report a greater sense of clarity, calm, and emotional resilience.

Intrusive thoughts can feel terrifying, irrational, or even shameful—but they’re not a reflection of who you are. 💭⁠

According to the book Brain Lock by Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz, one of the most important steps in overcoming intrusive thoughts is recognizing that they’re a glitch in the brain—not a moral failure.

They’re unwanted, automatic, and anxiety-driven—and with the right tools, they can be rewired. 🧠✨

This post breaks down what intrusive thoughts are—and what they’re not—with clarity and compassion. You are not alone in this.

🌀 Save this post to come back to it when your mind gets loud.

Trauma isn’t just a story we carry in our minds — it lives in the body.
⁣
When something overwhelming happens and we can’t fight, flee, or safely process the experience, the nervous system holds onto that energy. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, dissociation, or chronic tension — even when the danger is long gone.⁣
⁣
Nervous system work isn’t about “thinking your way out.” It’s about gently listening to your body’s signals, completing survival responses, and reestablishing a felt sense of safety — at your own pace.⁣
⁣
🌀 Healing isn’t linear. It’s a return to connection.
