À propos de cet audio
Most of us are familiar with the three F's of trauma—fight, flight, or freeze. But psychologists have identified a fourth, extremely common (yet little-understood) response: fawning. Often conflated with “codependency” or “people-pleasing,” fawning occurs when we inexplicably draw closer to a person or relationship that causes pain, rather than pulling away.
- Do you apologize to people who have hurt you?
- Ignore their bad behavior?
- Befriend your bullies?
- Obsess about saying the right thing?
- Make yourself into someone you’re not . . . while seeking approval that may never come?
You might be a fawner.
Fawning explains why we stay in bad jobs, fall into unhealthy partnerships, and tolerate dysfunctional environments, even when it seems so obvious to others that we should go. And though fawning serves a purpose—it’s an ingenious protective strategy in unsafe situations—it’s a problem if it becomes a repetitive, compulsory reaction in our daily lives.
But here’s the good news: we can break the pattern of chronic fawning, once we see it for the trauma response it is. Drawing on twenty years of clinical psychology work—as well as a lifetime of experience as a recovering fawner herself—Dr. Ingrid Clayton demonstrates WHY we fawn, HOW to recognize the signs of fawning (including taking blame, conflict avoidance, hypervigilance, and caretaking at the expense of ourselves), and WHAT we can do to successfully “unfawn” and finally be ourselves, in all our imperfect perfection.
I could write pages of praise for this book and for the honour it is to learn of the lived experiences of each of the people’s journeys, including your own, that are recounted throughout.
Prior to reading your book, I would have put off writing a review, and felt guilty about it, would have eventually drafted something, only to never post it, letting my striving for perfection win. I had no idea that Fawning was at the root of so much of my life.
I’ve resisted the strong urge to seek the input of a friend or AI to help me write this review. I’ve allowed the physical sensations to rise, linger, and pass, now having a new understanding of just what is going on inside. This is the beginning of a new way of being in the world. It’s the start of taking up space! Thank Y💗U!
PS. I will be ordering a print version also, as there’s SO much hi-lighting and flagging to do 🤗
Hallelujah! And, a million thank YOU’s, Dr. Ingrid Clayton 💗
