The Disease to Please Harriet Braiker
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies, The

Do you over-commit and then run around like a chicken with your head cut-off? I understand that regardless of answer here or not, it won't change the outcome, it won't make the disease go away, and no amount of reassurance will make my worry stop. Wanting another's approval is healthy. Don't fall victim to the “disease to please.” When you behave contrary to what you believe, you are fighting yourself, and it reinforces self-doubt. People-pleasers whose distorted thinking is the predominant cause of their syndrome are ensnared in burdensome and self-defeating mindsets that perpetuate their disease to please problems. So if that's you, please don't waste your time on me. Do you have a hard time saying no? You can't please all the people even some of the time. Do you believe that you won't be a good mom, coach, artist, web-designer, accountant, lawyer, if you don't. Live in harmony with your values. €�The disease to please,” as psychologist Harriet Braiker likes to call it, is a form of addiction.
