Fawning is essentially entirely abandoning your own experience and needs in order to deflect conflict and diffuse confrontation.
Ever found yourself bending over backwards to keep the peace, even at your own expense? In this episode of 'Why Do You Think You've Got No Friends?', Emily Laing dives into the lesser-known trauma response called fawning. Unlike fight, flight, or freeze, fawning is all about appeasing others to avoid conflict. Emily shares her personal journey of recognizing this behavior in herself and how it often masquerades as kindness or compassion.
But don’t be fooled – it's a harmful pattern that can erode your self-worth and entangle you in codependent relationships. Emily breaks down the signs of fawning, including the subtle ways gaslighting and abuse can perpetuate this response. She also offers practical advice on how to break free from these unhealthy patterns and start valuing yourself more. This episode isn't just about identifying a problem; it's about finding a path to authenticity and self-respect.
Tune in for an honest and eye-opening discussion that might just change the way you see your interactions with others.
