Deep dives
Understanding Fawning and Its Impact
Fawning, an extreme form of people-pleasing, is a behavior that develops as a defense mechanism in response to childhood trauma or threatening situations. Adults often revert to fawning when faced with triggers that remind them of times they felt powerless as children, leading them to neglect their own needs to please others. This coping strategy can have detrimental effects on mental and physical health, as repressing emotions may result in chronic pain or illness. Engaging in self-reflection and recognizing these patterns is crucial for healing and moving beyond these ingrained survival tactics.
