Episode notes
Authenticity Suppression in People Pleasing
- People pleasing often occurs internally through authenticity suppression, not just by overtly saying yes to others.
- We subconsciously adopt others' values to gain approval, which can erode our sense of self over time.
Shame Behind Conforming
- Feeling wrong or ashamed when confronted with differing values is actually somatic shame.
- We often suppress our own values to avoid this discomfort and conform externally.
Use Body Cues to Find Truth
- Observe your body's reactions when you feel pressured to conform or agree.
- Practice checking in with yourself to affirm your true beliefs despite external influences.
