Stop People Pleasing Workbook

The Stop People Pleasing Workbook

Do you say “yes” when you really want to say “no”? Hide your true feelings to keep the peace? Put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own until you’re drained, resentful, or burnt out? That’s not kindness — it’s people pleasing. And while it may feel like the only way to keep relationships smooth, it’s actually a cycle that erodes your self-worth and keeps you from living authentically.

The Stop People Pleasing Workbook is a guided, 23-page self-help tool to help you understand why you people please, how it affects your relationships, and — most importantly — how to stop. With reflective exercises, practical strategies, and boundary-setting tools, it empowers you to put your needs on the table without guilt or fear.

Inside, you’ll find:

✅ Education on people pleasing — what it is, why it happens, and its common roots (low self-esteem, fear of conflict, past trauma, societal pressures)
✅ Signs & causes checklist — identify how people pleasing shows up in your daily life
✅ Reflection prompts to uncover your relationship values, strengths, and unmet needs
✅ Challenging myths & self-defeating beliefs (e.g., “saying no makes me selfish”) with healthier alternatives
✅ Assertive communication skills — scripts, tips, and traits to express needs with respect and clarity
✅ Boundary-setting strategies — learn to define, communicate, and enforce your limits
✅ Fawn response insights — understand how trauma-linked people pleasing develops and how to heal it
✅ Self-esteem journaling & strengths checklists to build confidence and celebrate progress
