If people-pleasing has you shrinking your needs to control other people’s reactions, individual therapy can help.

Have you spent your life making sure everyone else is okay, yet fail to care for your own needs?
Your thoughtfulness and compassion are some of your best qualities…but you never meant to lose touch with yourself.
The clients I work with often say things like:
“I agreed even though I didn’t want to.”
“But what if they’re disappointed in me?”
“It’s easier not to say anything so I don’t have to explain myself”
“I want to…but I don’t want to be selfish.”

You are not selfish for having needs.
Loving connection does not depend on keeping the peace.
Individual therapy for adults who struggle with people-pleasing.
Struggling with boundaries isn’t a character flaw. People-pleasing often develops as a way to navigate relationships where your needs may have been overlooked or where you learned that keeping others happy kept you safe.
Your behaviors make sense in the context they developed. Individual therapy at Rooted Self Psychology can help you explore the experiences that shaped your relationships while learning to honor your own needs at the same time.
