Seeing therapist is great way to channel into the root of our trauma-related responses, and learning how to set healthy boundaries. When person has grown up in an environment where their mental or physical well-being is threatened, people-pleasing may have been used as survival skill in response to this threat. In childhood, this may have looked like not expressing yourself, your needs, or “talking back” to an authority figure to avoid conflict. In the work environment, your boss may consistently go to you with overwhelming projects, and in relationships, you may feel pressure to help the other person as much as possible, even at the cost of your own wellness.
