Course overview
Lesson Overview
9.47 – Avoiding the Trap of People-Pleasing After Disconnection: After conflict, guilt can drive excessive compliance. People-pleasing disguises itself as peacekeeping but erases authenticity. Avoiding this trap means learning that genuine love needs honesty more than approval. Over-accommodation delays real healing because it hides unresolved feelings. True repair requires balanced give-and-take, not self-erasure. Setting limits kindly and expressing truth respectfully keeps recovery equal. When both voices matter, connection becomes genuine again. Pleasing others at your expense fixes nothing; sincerity does.
