About this Event

Do you struggle to say no? Take on too much? Put everyone else’s needs before your own? If fear and guilt are stopping you from living the life you want, people-pleasing could be the reason why.

In this talk, psychotherapist Hannah Paskin will break down people pleasing – helping you identify the signs, understand how it shows up in your work, relationships, and daily life, and learn practical techniques to say no with confidence and let go of guilt.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
