Curious about how others manage to break free from the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing? In this episode, Ross Rosenberg, a seasoned psychotherapist and author, tackles the pervasive issue of people-pleasing, particularly in the context of Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLDD). If you've ever felt drained from constantly putting others before yourself, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need.
Ross explains how this seemingly selfless behaviour can actually be detrimental to your mental health, leading to one-sided relationships and emotional exhaustion. Ross shares his insights from over 35 years in the mental health field, shedding light on why people-pleasing is more than just being 'too nice'. It's a pattern that stems from deep-seated fears and traumas, often resulting in a lack of self-worth and identity.
He likens it to a hamster wheel—no matter how fast you run, you never get anywhere. The episode also touches on the importance of setting boundaries and the challenges faced when trying to shift from a people-pleasing mindset to one of self-love abundance. The podcast doesn't just highlight the problem; it offers a roadmap to recovery. Ross introduces his Self-Love Recovery Treatment Program, designed to guide individuals through the stages of overcoming SLDD.
He assures listeners that while the journey may be tough, it's undoubtedly worth it. So, if you're ready to reclaim your self-worth and step off the hamster wheel, this episode is your starting point. Why not start today?
