The Emma Guns Show

Anna Mathur | Overcoming people-pleasing, finding yourself and how to ask for help.


Listen Later

One thing about interviewing psychotherapists is how tempting it can be to open up about the things that I am personally struggling with, or have struggled with. It’s not something I intended to do but in navigating Anna Mathur’s life lessons we stumbled upon the territory of people pleasing and, well, that was it.

Both of us have found ourselves crippled by the effects of people pleasing and these have shown up in Anna’s life in ways that have had a huge impact. 

I always open the show by asking my guests what their relationship with risk is like and it’s interesting that a big risk for Anna, and me, was to put ourselves first.

If you’re afflicted with the disease to please then this episode is definitely for you.

Anna’s books are available now.
