Fawning; Ever heard of it?
I read this amazing article last night and it has opened issues I didnt even really know I had. I had recognized my pattern and I knew I needed help, but having a name and even knowing what could be a possible casue is amazing! It feels amazing learning a whole new vocaluary to describe the patterns I have created. It helps tie it all together. I am attaching this article I think its amazing and a great reasource.
Most people know about fight, flight, and freeze —But another trauma response is FAWN and it is at the core of what people-pleasing is actually about.
To avoid conflict, negative emotions, and re-traumatization, people who fawn when triggered will go out of their way to mirror someones opinions and appease them in order to deescalate situations or potential issues.
Interesting article thanks
