#58 The Hidden Roots of People Pleasing: Healing the Generational Wounds Behind Self-Abandonment

Into The Work: Therapy For Empaths And Seekers

Are you constantly putting others first, even when it costs you your peace? Do you feel guilty setting boundaries, like you're betraying someone, even when you're the one suffering? If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, we're diving into the generational roots of people-pleasing - where they come from, how they show up in our lives, and what it takes to break the cycle. You’ll learn how self-abandonment often begins as a survival strategy modeled by caregivers and passed down through your lineage… and how you can start choosing self-loyalty instead.

🌿 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why people-pleasing often runs in families, especially among women
• Four healing shifts to breaking the cycle
• How to honor your lineage while still rewriting the pattern
