If you’ve ever found it hard to say no - or you worry that setting boundaries makes you selfish - this video is for you.

Many of us learnt early on that love and safety depended on keeping others happy. So as adults, saying “this doesn’t feel right for me” can feel confusing, even scary.


But our bodies always know when something’s off - a knot in the stomach, tension in the shoulders, a quiet sense of unease. That’s not weakness - it’s wisdom.


In this video, I talk about:

  • Why people-pleasing starts as a protection pattern

  • How to recognise when your nervous system is in “pleaser mode”

  •  Small, gentle ways to begin setting boundaries that feel safe

  • How hypnotherapy can help you reprogram these patterns at a deeper level

  • Setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away - it’s about coming home to yourself.

If you have any questions or would like to see me for therapy. Please get it touch, it will be my pleasure to help.


Warmest wishes

Kirsten
