People-Pleasing & Boundaries (Fawning Response)
Fawning, over-functioning, and the quiet cost of always being the easy one.
Virtual therapy, California and Massachusetts
People-pleasing is often a survival strategy dressed up as a personality trait. If keeping everyone else comfortable once kept you safe, saying no can feel genuinely dangerous rather than merely awkward.
We’ll work on boundaries from the inside out, starting with the part of you that learned to disappear—not with a script.
How we work with this
This most often sits inside individual therapy. 45 minute sessions, weekly or every other week, entirely by video.
