Fawning and Anxious Attachment: Breaking Free from Trauma Patterns

The basis of getting a lot of our trauma work done, of rewiring our brains and resetting our lives on the right track and then continuing on that track day after day after day, might actually be the least defined of all of the trauma, downstream effects and common mental health downfalls.
Ever wondered if your desire to please others is more than just kindness? In this episode of 'CPTSD Recovery: We Are Traumatized Motherfuckers', Jess dives deep into the often-overlooked survival response known as fawning. Many people confuse being a 'good person' with sacrificing their own needs for others, but where do you draw the line? Jess tackles the tricky terrain of fawning, anxious attachment, and enmeshment, shedding light on how these behaviors can deeply impact trauma survivors.
These defense mechanisms often lead to a desperate need for social approval and a diminished sense of self-worth. By understanding these patterns, you can start to reclaim control over your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Jess doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of living with CPTSD. Instead, she offers actionable strategies to help you rewire your brain and reset your life.
Whether you’re dealing with childhood trauma or struggling in adult relationships, this episode provides valuable insights into breaking free from ingrained behaviors that no longer serve you. Tune in to learn how to stand up for your right to live your own life without being consumed by the needs of others. You might find yourself starting a new round of therapy after this conversation, but it's all part of the journey towards recovery.
