On today's episode of Yours Mentally we talk about people pleasing and the effects it has on one's mental health. This episode is in conversation with Ami Patel who is a Psychotherapist.

We begin the episode by asking Ami how can one draw a line between being kind and being a people pleaser and is people-pleasing a mental illness?
We then ask what negative effects can people pleasing have on a person?
We also talk about the typical traits of a people pleaser and ask her what are some common motivations of people pleasing?
We also ask how can one recognise that they are becoming a people pleaser?
We then ask if people pleasing eventually ends up damaging our relationships?
We also discuss if people pleasing be a trauma response in any way.
We ask her what can one do if their partner is a people pleaser?
Lastly, we ask Ami, how does one break the pattern of people pleasing?
