Hello there. If your desire to make a positive impact on others tips over into people-pleasing, you’re not alone.

I know so many big-hearted and caring people who struggle to give themselves the care they give others, know their own needs, or quit prioritising the needs of others.

Which is why I’ve made a free video course, The People Pleaser’s First Aid Kit.

This first video talks about why we people-please, including our fear of rejection or conflict, learning that our worth is tied to our ability to help others, and losing touch with our own needs.

The other three videos in this 45-minute course offer three useful questions to ask yourself before jumping in to help, ways to notice and interrupt your usual responses, and brief ways to self-soothe. Whatever your reason for people-pleasing, you're not alone!

Videos to offer relief <3

In this short video, I give an explanation of the following three videos, including guidance on which one might be the most appropriate for you right now.

In this video, I take you through the Acceptance and Commitment Training exercise “Dropping Anchor” by Russ Harris, to help bring rapid relief.

In this short video, I take you through a Mindful Self-Compassion Break, to help you find relief and know you’re not alone.

In this final video, I take you through a mediation practise often used in Acceptance and Commitment Training, to help you find a space between you and your thoughts.
