When I say People Pleaser, I’m referring to the anxious attachment style (or anxious-ambivalent) in Attachment Theory.

In psychology, attachment refers to how we relate to other people. Being a Pleaser is one of several types of styles identified in this relational theory.

In our coaching practice, we view addiction through a lens of trauma and attachment. As a recovery coach, I am very mindful of men who generally agree to these questions:

  • Do you calm yourself by focusing on the needs of others and making them happy?
  • Do attempts to make everyone happy often create a time management problem for you?
  • Is decision-making difficult without asking for permission or reassurance?
  • Do you struggle creating boundaries because others may be annoyed by them?


If you can relate to the these questions, you will have unique challenges in this course—and for recovery in general.

I encourage these men to work with me prior to starting the course. Contact me to discuss what this means for you.
