How to Stop People-Pleasing: Self-Inquiry for Highly Sensitive People
Update: 2025-07-25
Description
As highly sensitive people, we often struggle with people-pleasing and setting healthy boundaries. In this episode of All About Soul, I welcome Todd Smith, creator of the popular podcast Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People.
We explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP), how to manage overwhelm, use people-pleasing behavior as a tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth, and much more!
🔑 We discuss:
- What defines a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and the D.O.E.S. framework
- The hidden gifts and evolutionary role of HSP
- People-pleasing, empathy—and how to say NO with power and compassion
- Inquiry-based stress management techniques, inspired by Byron Katie's work
- soul-level and spiritual approach to high sensitivity
Todd Smith brings practical wisdom and personal experience into our conversation. You can find out more about his work at https://trueinnerfreedom.com/
