Do you often put everyone else’s needs before your own - and feel bad if you don’t?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kay from Place to Talk Therapy Practice to explore the deep connection between shame and people-pleasing. We talk about how shame begins, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it can feel so hard to break free from old patterns.

Kay shares her personal experience of living with shame, from body image struggles to those early messages we pick up about who we need to be in order to be accepted and loved. Kay explains:

• The difference between guilt and shame - and why shame runs so deep.
• How childhood experiences and cultural expectations shape people-pleasing.
• Gentle ways to notice and challenge shame-fuelled thoughts.
• What self-honour is and why it is the antidote to shame.
• First steps you can take to set boundaries and put your needs back on the table.
