Coaching to overcome pleasing others syndrome

Course description:

As a clinical psychologist, I help many unhappy people struggling with this addiction to please others. This is often not seen as a problem because it helps a person get approval and validation from others and makes them feel recognized as helpful, and kind. However, the constant desire to please others can lead to a harmful pattern of self-sacrifice or self-neglect.

This course is a program to help you overcome low self-worth and self-esteem generated by people pleasing syndrome.

The course is also dedicated to coaches that helps clients with improving their self-esteem. You will learn interventions that you can use to help your clients on their road to performance improvement related to lack of focus due to poor self-esteem.

If you don't stop pleasing others and continue to prioritize their needs and desires over your own, several negative consequences can occur:

1. Diminished self-esteem: Constantly seeking approval from others and neglecting your own needs can erode your self-esteem over time. You may start to feel inadequate, unimportant, or like your own desires are not valuable.

2. Increased stress and anxiety: The pressure to constantly please others can lead to heightened levels of stress and anxiety. You may constantly worry about meeting others' expectations, fear rejection or disapproval, and feel overwhelmed by the weight of constantly putting others' needs before your own.

3. Emotional exhaustion and burnout: Continuously prioritizing others' happiness and neglecting self-care can lead to emotional exhaustion and burnout.

4. Lack of authenticity and personal fulfillment: you may lose touch with your authentic self. This can result in a lack of personal fulfillment and a feeling of being disconnected from your own desires, passions, and values.

5. Strained relationships: Paradoxically, constantly trying to please others can strain relationships. This behavior may attract individuals who take advantage of your willingness to please, leading to imbalanced and resentful relationships. Additionally, you may struggle to establish boundaries and communicate your own needs effectively, which can create tension and misunderstandings in your interactions with others.

The course is dedicated to anyone who recognize that trying to win approval is draining you of energy and you are pursuing the happiness of others at the expense of your own emotional well-being. Consequently, you feel a weak self-esteem, anger and frustration, anxiety and stress, depleted willpower, lack of authenticity and resentful relationships.

People often do nice things for others for various reasons related to feel good about self, to help or to earn favors. That is fine, but if you're putting always others first and you are constantly focused on pleasing others, you are afraid that you’ll be disliked or rejected if you say "no," there’s a strong chance that you suffer people-pleasing syndrome and that will be a blocker in living a fulfilling life.

Continuing to prioritize others' happiness at the expense of your own well-being can have detrimental effects on your mental and emotional health, relationships, and overall quality of life. It is important to find a balance between caring for others and prioritizing your own needs and self-care.
