The Cost of People-Pleasing

Are You A People-Pleaser At Work?

Sometimes, saying Yes to everyone else means saying NO to our own needs and you may have built a career on being the reliable one, the one holding space for others...

• Always says yes
• Goes the extra mile
• Takes on more than you have capacity for
• Making sure everyone else is okay
• Finds it difficult to disappoint people
• Rarely saying “No”

And perhaps people appreciate you for it or just comfortable with this version of you.... but at what cost

Your time?
Your energy?
Your peace?
Your sense of self?

If saying “No” feels selfish, uncomfortable or even difficult, it may be worth exploring.

And if this resonates, I offer a complimentary, no-pressure, no-commitment conversation to explore how therapy can support you in moving from
people-pleasing towards a life that feels more authentic and aligned.
