People Pleasing & Boundary Setting

People-pleasing can look like kindness and reliability — but feel like exhaustion, resentment, and loss of self.

​

We offer a structured people-pleasing and boundary setting program that helps you reduce over-giving, communicate limits clearly, and build confident, respectful assertiveness skills.

​

This is step-by-step boundary building — not personality change.

Signs People-Pleasing Is Hurting You

People-pleasing and boundary support may help if you:

  • Say yes when you want to say no

  • Feel responsible for others’ emotions

  • Fear disappointing people

  • Avoid conflict at any cost

  • Over-explain your decisions

  • Feel guilty setting limits

  • Feel resentful after agreeing to things

  • Neglect your own needs repeatedly

​

Many people-pleasing patterns are driven by anxiety and fear of rejection. If fear and overthinking are strong drivers, see our anxiety support program.

What People-Pleasing Work Focuses On

Boundary skill building includes:

​​

1. Identifying Poor Boundaries

The boundaries you struggle holding with others tell us a lot about how to resolve it.

​

2. Creating Understanding

Once we can name what is happening we can change it.

​

​3. Healing Beliefs

Most people-pleasing comes from negative beliefs about self-worth. Healing those beliefs results in better boundaries.​

​

People-pleasing is often tied to self-worth patterns — our self-esteem and confidence building program supports this deeper layer.

Guided People-Pleasing Program

The Psychological Foundations program is an 8-week course that provides you with expert guidance as you navigate healing your boundary issues, ensuring that you learn what you need to excel.

 

Here's how the guided program can help you:

  • Expert guidance to ensure that you understand foundational psychological principles

  • Confidence that you are using the methods to heal yourself correctly

  • Less time spent searching for answers or living in confusion

  • Individualized guidance and application

  • A second opinion, we are blind to ourselves and what we don't know

​

Let us help you build your self-worth and boundaries quickly.

People-Pleasing Support Sessions

For clients who want guided help applying the tools in individual sessions, sessions focus on:

​

  1. Identifying negative beliefs

  2. Building competence by working through them

​

Sessions focus on helping people-pleasers make real progress towards standing their ground.

Other Connections To People-Pleasing

People-pleasing often shows up most strongly in close relationships.

​

Our relationship healing support program helps change repeating relational patterns and strengthen balanced communication.
 

Codependency dynamics can also overlap — dedicated codependency support can go deeper on that pattern

​

Chronic people-pleasing often leads to emotional exhaustion and overload.
