Are you a people-pleasing practitioner? Let's talk about it

If you have ever said yes when you meant no, over-explained a boundary, or left a session feeling responsible for everyone's emotions but your own - this one is for you.

Joey shares her article published in Occupational Therapy Australia's Convention Magazine - an honest reflection on people-pleasing tendencies in allied health and why the profession attracts them, and why it is time to break the cycle.

What we cover:

  • Why allied health professionals are particularly prone to people-pleasing
  • How it shows up in your clinical work, your workplace, and your relationships with families
  • The cost of chronic people-pleasing on your wellbeing and your practice
  • Why breaking the cycle is not selfish - it makes you a better practitioner

You cannot pour from an empty cup. And you cannot advocate for your clients if you are too busy managing everyone else's feelings.
