MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I’m Zalman Nelson, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping people-pleasers break old patterns, say no without guilt, and finally feel at peace being themselves.
I created this course and approach because I’ve seen how many people live stuck in quiet patterns of self-abandonment—overthinking, over-giving, and constantly worrying if they’re disappointing someone. It’s exhausting. And it doesn’t have to stay that way.
My method blends modern psychology with deep emotional work. You’ll learn how to connect with your Inner Child, engage your calm, clear Adult Self, and build boundaries that actually stick—without guilt, fear, or shame.
This work is personal for me. I know what it’s like to say yes when you mean no, just to keep the peace. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help people stop people-pleasing and start showing up for themselves.
Real change starts with one moment of clarity. One boundary. One brave no. Let’s begin.
The Daily Practice → Simple tools to create calm, clarity, and connection
Trigger Method Workbook → A self-guided path for working with emotional triggers and people-pleasing patterns
Stop saying yes when you mean no.
