🎙 Episode # 7 | Breaking the People-Pleasing Pattern: Reclaiming Boundaries, Safety & Self-Trust

People-pleasing isn’t about being “too nice”—it’s often a nervous system response rooted in early survival. In this episode of The Integrative Therapist, we explore how chronic self-abandonment begins, why it’s so hard to say no, and how to gently reconnect with your truth.

🌿 Inside this episode:

→ The trauma-informed roots of people-pleasing (aka the fawn response)

→ The toll of boundary-blurring on your body, mind, and emotions

→ Somatic & reflective tools to build self-trust and nervous system safety

→ Scripts, practices, and rituals to help you set boundaries with care—not guilt

✨ You don’t have to earn love by overgiving.

✨ You don’t have to perform to be accepted.

✨ You are allowed to take up space—and still be deeply loved.

This episode is a breath of permission to come back to yourself.
