Breaking Free from People-Pleasing: A Conversation with Therapist Justine Carino (67‪)‬ How the Wise One Grows

    • Mental Health

Are you exhausted from constantly putting other's needs before your own? In our latest conversation, I sat down with mental health counselor and anxiety treatment specialist, Justine Carino, to dissect the complex pattern of people pleasing. We get to the root of people pleasing,  why we do it, and how it's deeply ingrained in our survival instincts.

We delve into the uncomfortable feelings that arise when setting boundaries - a crucial step to escape the people-pleasing cycle. Justine offers her insights into recognizing cognitive distortions that lead to avoidance and shares how mindfulness can help in identifying our needs.

We emphasize the need for aligning boundaries with your core values to prevent burnout and resentment. Justine guides us through exercises to identify our values and use them to steer our decisions. We also cover how to communicate your boundaries respectfully and manage the guilt that can surface from making decisions that align with your values. This episode is packed with valuable tools to help you transition from people-pleasing patterns and step into your strength.
