Episode 28 - People Pleasing as a Trauma Response with Sara Hughes-Zabawa

In this week's episode, I'm joined by a special guest, Sara Hughes-Zabawa, as we explore the topic of people-pleasing as a response to trauma. Sara's passion lies in guiding clients toward thriving and enhancing their quality of life. She achieves this by cultivating heightened awareness, providing insights, building crucial skills, and offering top-notch education and resources.

People-pleasing often emerges as a deeply ingrained trauma response. Stemming from a desire to evade conflict or seek validation, this coping mechanism involves prioritizing others' needs and expectations over one's own well-being. Individuals who engage in people-pleasing may have encountered situations where their emotional safety was compromised. This led them to adapt by stretching themselves thin to maintain a semblance of control or connection. During our conversation, Sara and I discuss the importance of taking a pause when faced with stressful stimuli, as well as valuable tools to guide you through these situations. Recognizing people-pleasing as a trauma response is a crucial step toward healing. It enables us to address underlying wounds and gradually transition towards self-empowerment and authentic self-expression. Can't wait for you to listen and uncover the insights this episode holds.
