Women Who Are Too Nice

Are you a woman who:

• often feels burnt out, under-appreciated, and/or resentful?
• struggles to ask for what she wants, finds it hard to say no, over-gives and suffers guilt when prioritising herself?
• longs for better sex, to show up more fully in relationships, or who has simply had enough of feeling like a doormat?

I hear you! Know that these are all symptoms of ‘niceness’. Being ‘too nice’ is actually a deeply wired response to trauma, a set of conditioned strategies for staying safe in the world where, as a woman, you were devalued and disempowered from a young age.The niceness I am talking about consists of unhealthy self-sacrifice, people-pleasing and the need to always be liked. Eventually, it ends up ruining our capacity for true intimacy and damaging our most precious relationships. This niceness is brutally unkind to all involved.

In this session I’ll share my discoveries about niceness - where it originates, its key symptoms, and the long-term consequences it has in women’s lives. Then, we’ll explore how it manifests as a way of being in the body and how an embodied approach is often the missing key to breaking free into greater ease, authenticity and power.
