Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
This chapter examines the roots of people-pleasing behavior, linking it to childhood experiences of emotional enmeshment and the resulting prioritization of others' happiness over one's own needs. Through a discussion of the challenges of asserting oneself, the speakers emphasize the importance of learning to say 'no' to foster authenticity and self-identity. They also explore the transformative power of embracing playfulness as a means of reconnecting with one's true self and rediscovering joy.
