Fawn Response: The Silent Struggle

Feb 13, 2024

Today I have a very special guest, Dr. Nima Rahmany, a good friend and a retired chiropractor who now teaches people how to break free from trauma bonds.

In this episode we explore the concept of 'fawning' - a trauma response where individuals suppress their true feelings to please others, affecting their identity and mental health.

We discuss how this behavior, rooted in childhood experiences, leads to chronic anxiety and physical health issues like chronic pain and autoimmune disorders.

The key to overcoming this is recognizing these patterns, developing a stronger relationship with oneself, and learning to respect personal boundaries.

We emphasize the importance of repairing relationships and building resilience through empathy and understanding.

This episode is a deep dive into self-discovery and establishing healthier connections.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
