Counselling for People Pleasing and
Codependency in Calgary
Are you constantly putting others' needs before your own, sacrificing your well-being to keep the peace? People pleasing and codependency can silently erode your sense of self-worth and autonomy, trapping you in unhealthy patterns of behaviour.
You May Be a People Pleaser if:
You have difficulty saying no
You avoid conflict or letting others down at all costs
You seek external validation to determine your worth, value or success
You feel overwhelmed by obligations
You ignore or minimize personal needs
Gain Insight
At Core Psychology, we believe it's essential to understand the roots of these tendencies. Our experienced therapists delve deep to uncover the underlying beliefs and emotions driving your people-pleasing behaviours and codependent relationships. Together, we'll explore healthier ways to navigate boundaries, assert your needs, cultivate self-love, and increase your self confidence.
Break Free
Breaking free from people pleasing and codependency requires courage and self-awareness. Our compassionate therapists offer a safe space to explore the dynamics of your relationships and the patterns that keep you stuck. Through evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy and boundary-setting exercises, we empower you to reclaim your voice and rediscover your worth. Let us guide you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where authenticity and self-care become your guiding principles.
Breaking the patterns of people-pleasing and codependency is not an act of rebellion, but an act of self-love. It's the courageous choice to honour our own needs and desires, even when it challenges the status quo or perceived expectations of who we are or how we should be.
As we shed the layers of conditioned behaviour, we unveil the beauty of our authentic selves, ready to embrace life fully and in alignment with our values, beliefs and dreams.
Live Authentically
Imagine living life on your own terms, free from the burden of constantly seeking approval or validation from others. Through counselling, you'll learn to embrace authenticity and cultivate meaningful connections built on mutual respect and trust. By setting clear boundaries, practicing self-care, and honouring your needs, you'll create space for genuine intimacy and fulfillment in your relationships.
