Deep dives

Overcoming people-pleasing and codependency

One of the main reasons people change is because of pain and discomfort, and personal growth comes from embracing discomfort. People-pleasing and codependency often stem from a reflexive need to please others for personal safety and belonging. To break free from these patterns, individuals must first test honesty with themselves and confront their internal struggles. Establishing boundaries and recognizing the toxic elements of these behaviors is crucial to transformation. Additionally, working towards being a truth-teller and mastering the art of honest self-expression is key in developing authenticity.
