Fawning as a Trauma Response
Fawning is a learned trauma response, often the first response before fight, flight, or freeze. It involves appeasing people, pretending to be happy when not, and consent to things not desired to avoid hurting others' feelings or being seen as not nice. Fawning is widely taught, starting from childhood, and leads to repressing one's own feelings and breaking boundaries. The shadow of fawning is deep resentment and aggression, as boundaries are violated. When fawning stops, anger also subsides. It is important to recognize where fawning happens, build the capacity to handle others' disappointment, and live more authentically.
