Welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Therapy, the podcast that empowers you to transform life’s challenges into opportunities for personal growth and developing healthier relationships. Join your hosts, Tim and Ruth Olson, licensed marriage and family therapists with expertise in trauma and mental health disorders, as they guide you through healing from past traumas and building meaningful connections.

In this engaging episode, we continue our mini-series by addressing the topic of people-pleasing and providing practical steps to break free from it. Distinguishing between the joy of genuinely pleasing others and the compulsion of people-pleasing, the Olsons delve into the detrimental impact excessive people-pleasing can have on mental health and personal identity.

Explore four essential steps to overcome the habit of people-pleasing: Recognize your patterns, set healthy boundaries, manage guilt and fear of disapproval, and practice saying no without over-explaining. Through these actionable strategies, you’ll learn how to prioritize your own needs, honor your boundaries, and foster authentic relationships.

Alongside insightful discussions, the Olsons invite you to reflect on your personal tendencies, encouraging a journey towards self-awareness and emotional independence. Discover how setting boundaries not only strengthens your self-respect but also nurtures more genuine and fulfilling connections. Whether it’s facing the fear of disappointing others or learning to assert your needs, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to shift from people-pleasing to empowerment.

Tune in today to start your journey towards freedom, happiness, and healthier relationships.
