このコンテンツについて
It’s not just being “nice”—it’s a survival strategy your nervous system learned a long time ago.
In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we dive deep into the fawn response: the lesser-known trauma response that looks like people-pleasing, over-accommodating, and smoothing everything over—even when you’re hurting.
If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, apologized for having needs, or kept the peace at the expense of your own well-being, this episode is for you. We’ll explore why fawning shows up, how it protects us, and what it looks like to start reclaiming your “no” with nervous-system-informed boundaries.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
What fawning is and how it differs from freeze, flight, and fight responses
How people-pleasing can be a trauma response, not a personality trait
How to begin setting boundaries without triggering guilt or shutdown
