When Pleasing Becomes Survival

Second video from our six-week series on how the inner child copes. 🌿

Some of us learned early that love had a condition — to be loved, we had to be good. Easy. Quiet. Agreeable.

We smiled when we were hurt, said “it’s okay” when it wasn’t, and called it kindness.

But behind that constant yes was a child who believed that saying no could make love disappear. And that’s why, even now, setting a boundary can feel wrong — like love might leave.

It’s not selfishness. It’s an old fear waking up. Real love stays — even when we say no. 🌿
