Recovering From People Pleasing, Fawn Response, Nervous System, Boundaries

Recovering From People Pleasing, Fawn Response, Nervous System, Boundaries

If you’re stuck people pleasing, over explaining, apologizing too much, scanning everyone’s mood, and saying yes fast then resenting it later, this episode breaks down what’s really happening and why it feels so hard to stop. You’ll learn how people pleasing often forms as a nervous system survival strategy, the fawn response, where being agreeable once meant safety, approval, or belonging. We talk through the root causes, conditional love, performance conditioning, fear of conflict, and why setting a boundary can trigger guilt, anxiety, and an intense urge to fix, rescue, or smooth things over. You’ll also get practical tools to recover from people pleasing without turning cold or selfish, including regulation skills, grounding, breathing, and simple boundary language that’s short, calm, and clear. The focus is rebuilding self trust, making your yes mean something again, and ending the cycle of obligation, burnout, and resentment in relationships. If you struggle with saying no to family, a partner, friends, or coworkers, and you want a clear framework for boundaries, emotional safety, and confident communication, this episode will give you what to listen for in yourself, and what to do next.
