I’m shook! This is literally earth shaking information. I just today had a talk with a therapist about this and she said that I need to focus more on my needs. So I looked up on the internet how to function more for myself as a people pleaser. Didn’t know I was a people pleaser until that session but now I’m shook because I didn’t know this was me.

Holy Hell, thank you so much for making this video! My sister and I grew up in the type of environment you’ve described, and learned a lot of lessons from watching our abusive, alcoholic father, and our mother that bent over backwards to appease and keep him. As adults, she and I are both overfunctioning in our relationships, or using marijuana to escape the compulsion to do so. I also took it one step further and became a therapist myself. Luckily, I’m very blessed to have a husband that understands why I’d like to go to couples counseling. He struggles with codependency himself, and was initially worried when I first suggested it, but quickly saw the benefit and calls it “preventative maintenance.”

Very informative video and content. Most of the things you described happened to me exactly this way. I’m grateful that I’m getting more and more aware of this pattern 🙏🏼

You look so beautiful with your hair and make up.

Control in the way it is explained here is not the control I strive for. My need for control is to be a protector and really what I seem to focus on is people who have fallen between the cracks. I until recently would put myself in harms way to get others out of danger because let's face it, I do take pride in this incredible skill. My screwed up childhood taught me well. I have deep flaws, but I won't own half of this. I have other just as ugly defects and I will own those.
