Don't Be a People-Pleaser

Free yourself from the compulsion to prioritise other people's feelings over your own. Have you ever gone on a visit just because you couldn't say no? Agreed to a third date, even though you knew on the first that it wasn't right? Finished a task for a colleague that was outside your job description because you didn't want to add to their worries? Adapted your personality to your partners in relationships, or stayed in relationships that hadn't been working for a very long time? These are just a few of the many examples of people-pleasing—that is, prioritising the needs, wishes, and feelings of others at the expense of your own. It is a learned pattern of behaviour in relation to other people, but one that actually stems from your relationship with yourself. Certified coach Hailey Magee will help you break free from this pattern. She offers an action-oriented approach to breaking it, based on psychological studies, theory, and her own practice. Thanks to her clear, practical, and research-backed advice, you can not only achieve real change but also discover joy, strength, and the ability to act. You will learn, for example: - how to recognise your feelings, needs, values, and wishes, - how to build deep, honest relationships that are healthy for both parties, - why boundaries are important, how to set them, and still maintain empathy, - when it is appropriate to compromise on your needs and when it isn't, - what the difference is between genuine kindness and trying to please, - how to end cycles stemming from codependency, - how to overcome feelings of guilt and develop your independence - and how to finally take control of your life.
