HB Ep. 53: People Pleasing Is Manipulation
How trying to make others happy can be harmful to ourselves
This week, Youngmi discusses “people pleasing trauma response.” She talks about the realization she had around this trauma response and the work she’s done to move away from it as well as experiencing it in someone else and the harm it caused her. Leading her to ultimately realize how manipulative and harmful this response is. She also touches on a bizarre coincidence about the billionaire submersible implosion no one seems to be discussing.
