People-pleasing isn’t a character flaw. It’s a survival pattern rooted in the body.
This EFT tapping practice helps you calm the fawn response, release the fear of disapproval, and reconnect with your inner signals. Through gentle tapping and guided phrases, you’ll create safety in your body so you can express your truth with clarity and confidence.
Why This Practice Helps
When your nervous system senses danger, it may default to fawning.
Your breath tightens. Your chest contracts. Your voice softens. You say yes when you mean no.
This practice works because EFT helps:
• Calm physiological stress that fuels people-pleasing.
• Release fear of judgment stored in the body.
• Strengthen boundaries by reconnecting you to your gut and chest cues.
• Create inner safety so you can disappoint others without abandoning yourself.
Tapping gives your system a new pattern: safety through truth, not over-giving.

After your practice:
Take a moment to notice your breath, chest, and jaw. Notice if your sense of “choice” feels clearer.
Healthy boundaries grow when your body feels strong, supported, and steady. Use this practice anytime you feel yourself shrinking, over-explaining, or absorbing others’ needs before your own.
