About This Book
Why Do I Keep Doing This? (2025) explores how childhood survival strategies around control keep adults trapped in toxic cycles of approval-seeking and people-pleasing. It unveils how behaviors that were once protective disconnect people from their authentic selves and block genuine connection, and shows how you can begin to break free from your unconscious patterns.
Who Should Read This?
- People-pleasers who apologize constantly and have difficulty saying no
- Burned out achievers wondering why they feel so empty despite striving for perfection
- Anyone seeking to understand why rest and self-care feel impossible to justify
