Love That Lasts: Essential Skills to Transform Your Relationship
At a certain point in our relationships, we need to stop looking at the negative aspects of it and focus on what we can do right versus what we do wrong. We can change our focus and start giving from the best part of who we are.
People Pleasing: What is it? Why do we do it? How do we stop?
In my book, Is It Love or Is It Addiction?, I refer to people pleasing as over-adapting to what others want or what we imagine they want. Adapting can be a good thing. We adjust or conform to a situation or person to live cooperatively. If you agree to meet at 8, you do; you stop at red lights; you do your half of the relationship. These adaptations make life and relationships run smoothly. Healthy adaptations are thoughtful and respectful.
