People Pleasing Course & Workbook
All Courses and Workbooks
From People Pleasing to Self-Trust
Stop abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable — start trusting what you know.
The Moon & Attachment
This course is educational. It's designed to help you understand yourself more deeply and to give you practices you can use on your own. It isn't therapy, and it isn't a substitute for working with a therapist. If you're in therapy now, this material can be a rich thing to bring into your sessions.
People Pleasing Recovery Workbook
If you say yes when you mean no, apologize for things that aren't your fault, and read a room better than you read yourself — this is for you.
51 pages, 7 sections. Each set of prompts opens with a short framing passage — the same material from Kathryn's full course — so you're never handed a question without context. No therapist or class required.
Inside: reflection questions with room to write, 3 exercises for practicing boundaries in real time, and grounded teaching on why people pleasing develops and how to interrupt it. Written by a licensed marriage and family therapist — educational, not a replacement for therapy.
Want more? The full course, From People Pleasing to Self-Trust, goes deeper into all of it.
What it is
The Self-Trust Workbook is a self-guided journey through the core patterns behind people pleasing and self-abandonment — fawning, guilt, boundary avoidance, and the quiet habit of leaving yourself to keep everyone else okay.
Every set of reflection prompts opens with a short teaching passage, so you're never handed a question without the context to actually answer it. No course required. No background reading. Just open it and start.
Inside, you'll work through:
Why people pleasing develops, and why it was never a character flaw
How to recognize activation in your body before you abandon yourself
The difference between guilt and an actual moral signal
How to set a boundary without over-explaining, apologizing, or negotiating it away
How to stay connected to someone else without losing yourself in the process
Who it's for
Anyone who's tired of being "the easy one." Anyone who's noticed they can't answer "what do you want?" without first checking how everyone else feels about it. Anyone curious about this work but not ready — or not needing — to commit to a full course.
Why it's different from just journaling prompts
Prompts without context can feel like a test you don't have the answer key for. This workbook gives you the framework first — drawn from the same clinical material used in Kathryn's full course — condensed into a page or two of grounded, non-clinical language before every set of questions. It's built to be used alone, at your own pace, without a therapist or a class.
