Boundaries and People Pleasing Therapy in Texas
Keeping the peace doesn’t have to mean abandoning yourself.
Maybe saying yes feels easier than disappointing someone. You take care of what needs to be done, anticipate what other people need, and try to keep everyone happy—even when it leaves very little room for you.
Setting a boundary can bring up guilt, anxiety, or the fear that someone will be angry, hurt, or think differently of you. So you explain, soften, accommodate, or eventually give in.
Therapy can help you understand why taking care of yourself can feel so uncomfortable, recognize where your responsibility ends, and practice relationships where your needs get to matter too.
