People Pleasing & Perfectionism


Listen Later

When you were born, you weren't a people pleaser. Yet many people label themselves as such today (even though it causes undue suffering).

Why?

Because learning to be a people pleaser usually helps you cope with a traumatic experience that could date back to your early childhood years.

For example, one of the folks who came to the Freedom Specialist retreats was a self-admitted people pleaser with a porn addiction. He even contemplated suicide. After digging, I realized he still carried the trauma of his friend committing suicide nearly a decade before he stepped foot in the retreat.

But by working with his body—instead of his thoughts—he discovered a new way to act. The result? His trauma disappeared and he's never been happier since.

In this episode, you'll discover how to use your body to quiet your nastiest negative thoughts and unlock more joy than you even thought possible.
