Ep. 339: Coffee Talk & Therapy Thoughts - People-Pleasing, Avoiding Conflict & Life as a Highly Sensitive Person

“Do you ever know someone is upset before they’ve even said a word?

And immediately start wondering: Is it me? Did I do something wrong? How can I make this better?

I do.

I’m realizing how much of my life I’ve spent trying to keep the peace, absorbing other people’s moods, avoiding conflict and swallowing what I actually feel.

And when I am angry, hurt or irritated, I have a habit of immediately questioning myself:

Am I being too sensitive? Am I overreacting? Should I just let it go?

This week on The Hello Someday Podcast, I’m doing something a little different.

It’s just me, some coffee talk and some very personal therapy thoughts about people-pleasing, avoiding conflict,  life as a highly sensitive person, fawning, and my instinct to become the emotional “shock absorber” for everyone around me.

And I’m talking about why all of this matters when you’re changing your relationship with alcohol.
