People-Pleasing – When Shame Drives the Need to Be Liked

By Published On: 01/02/2023

Introduction

Do you feel the need to keep everyone happy, even at the expense of your own well-being? That’s people-pleasing—a pattern often rooted in shame and the fear of rejection.

With online therapy and online hypnotherapy, you can break free from people-pleasing, set healthier boundaries, and reclaim your time and energy.

What Is People-Pleasing?

People-pleasing is the habit of prioritizing others’ needs over your own to avoid conflict or judgment. At its core, it’s fueled by shame, telling you:

  • “If I don’t keep everyone happy, they’ll reject me.”
  • “If I say no, they’ll think I’m selfish.”

Over time, this pattern can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of self-identity.

How Online Therapy Helps Break the People-Pleasing Cycle

1. Pause Before Saying Yes

In online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you’ll learn to pause and ask:

  • “Am I saying yes because I want to—or because I feel I have to?”

2. Set Boundaries with Kindness

Through online hypnotherapy, you can practice saying no without guilt. For example:

  • “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t commit to that right now.”

3. Reconnect with Your Own Needs

Therapy helps you explore what you truly want and need, empowering you to prioritize yourself while maintaining healthy relationships.
