19 Dr. Ilene Cohen: Recognizing People-Pleasing Tendencies and How to Heal

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I’m joined by Dr. Ilene Cohen, psychotherapist, author, and mother of two. She is one of the most respected voices in the psychology of people-pleasing and navigating the difficulty of living an intentional life while trying to maintain fulfilling relationships. We talk all about people-pleasing - what is it? Where does the behavior come from? What are the consequences of living this way? How do we heal and move on from people-pleasing? And more. We also talk about self-care, anxiety, burnout, and ambition in motherhood and family. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“People-pleasers always think, ‘I need to do everything by myself and then if I’m overwhelmed or tired there must be something wrong with me.’” - Dr. Ilene Cohen</span></p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christie’s Website:</span> <a href="https://www.sasssays.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.sasssays.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Christie’s Instagram: @sasssays</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Ilene’s Website: https://doctorilene.com/</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Ilene’s Instagram: @doctorilene</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Ilene’s Books:</span> <a href="https://doctorilene.com/resources/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://doctorilene.com/resources/</span></a></p>
