Resentment & Letting Go

Many of us suffered less than desirable childhoods resulting in needs that were not met growing up.

People Pleasing

People pleasing often develops as a response when children feel they must caretake the adults around them in order to be loved. As we grow, it becomes difficult to voice our true feelings because love has become attached to always being pleasing and easy to others.
