275 - How to Break the People-Pleasing Cycle with Justine Carino, LMHC and host of Thoughts from the Couch

The Calm Mom - Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Mindset, Self-Care, Parenting, Work-Life Balance

When you were a kid, do you remember doing your best to pick up extra tasks or get good grades to make everyone proud? So often, our people-pleasing tendencies can start young.

Here’s the thing - anxiety and people-pleasing often go hand-in-hand. While trying to keep the peace is a heavy weight to carry, it’s a coping mechanism so many of us have developed over time and it can contribute to feelings of anxiety.

My guest today is Justine Carino, a licensed mental health counselor and anxiety treatment specialist. She helps individuals and families decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, recover from anxiety disorders, improve their relationships, and set better boundaries.

3 things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. How to identify the origin of your people-pleasing habits
2. The relationship between our anxiety and people-pleasing
3. Why healthy boundaries are vital to a recovering people-pleaser
