In this episode of 'Masks Off,' host Kim Gross addresses the strong correlation between autoimmune diseases and people-pleasing tendencies, especially among women. She cites Dr. Gabor Mate’s observations about trauma being at the root of people-pleasing behaviors. Drawing from her own battle with Sjogren's syndrome, Kim shares her personal struggles of overextending herself to meet the needs of others at the expense of her own health and well-being. She recounts how her upbringing and family dynamics reinforced these tendencies and led to severe health issues. Kim eventually learned to prioritize self-care as a way to improve her condition and her relationships. She outlines practical steps and resources for listeners to start recognizing and transforming these harmful patterns, emphasizing the importance of awareness, ownership, and the arduous but rewarding journey of inner healing. The episode aims to inspire listeners to put themselves first and remove their people-pleaser masks in order to lead a more joyful and connected life.
