You feel anxious before situations where you might be evaluated - and relieved only when you sense approval. This session helps you understand where that need came from, what it has always been trying to protect.
What You'll Learn
- Name the fear underneath the need for approval — what they are truly afraid to lose
- Trace that fear to its earliest memory, understanding where the need for others' approval first became essential
- Identify the core unmet need behind the pattern and commit to one self-directed action to begin meeting it
This Session is Perfect For
Someone who has always been sensitive to others' opinions and suspects this goes deeper than just being a "people-pleaser." Particularly valuable for people who are tired of living in response to what others think, and who are ready to understand — rather than just manage — why approval matters so much.
