Description

Therapist, author of Not Drinking Tonight, and ‘reformed people pleaser’ Amanda E. White joins me back on the show to give her nuanced insights into the wide range of reasons why people might people please. 

She’ll help us understand what people pleasing is, when it can become manipulative, and how alcohol can play a role in people pleasing. Plus, she shares how relationships can actually become stronger through conflict, and how you can begin to cultivate a more nuanced view of people and situations.
