How to Find the Right Therapist: What Research Says Actually Matters

I'm tired of the version that frames it as a personality quirk, a boundary problem, or a self-esteem issue we just need to do the work on. That framing skips over the most important thing, which is that people-pleasing is a survival strategy that worked. It equated to safety, and sometimes to love, which kind of

It's the tired that comes from being the one who notices. It's exhausting being the one who feels the shift in the room, who registers the tightness in som
