Show Notes

In Episode 51 of Heal with EQ, Nadja El Fertasi dives deep into the "Disease to Please" and why so many of us struggle to set healthy boundaries. Whether it’s at work, in our romantic relationships, or even with our own habits (hello, Friday night pizza), the inability to say "no" isn't just a personality trait—it’s a symptom of an unmet emotional need.

Nadja shares a powerful "Two Hands" exercise to help you move away from the chaos of people-pleasing and into the clarity of human sustainability.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The Root of the "Yes": Understanding the foundational fear of not being "enough" and the terror of rejection.
  • The Two Hands Exercise:
    • Left Hand: Identifying the invisible weights and fears holding you back.
    • Right Hand: Claiming your "yes" to yourself, your health, and your peace.
  • The Grace Period: How to navigate the discomfort of new boundaries and why your nervous system might actually feel "comfortable" in toxic environments.
  • Sensitivity as a Superpower: Why the world needs highly sensitive people now more than ever.

Stop living in a state of depletion and resentment. It’s time to retrain your nervous system, implement consequences with love, and choose clarity over chaos.
