The AuDHD Fawning Reset: A Schema Therapy Workbook to Stop People Pleasing, Reclaim Boundaries, and Recover from the Fawn Response

The AuDHD Fawning Reset: A Schema Therapy Workbook to Stop People Pleasing,

Reclaim Boundaries, and Recover from the Fawn Response.

This podcast is based on the book by Cunningham Orane Frederick, and it is made

for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults who are tired of disappearing one automatic

"yes" at a time. Fawning is the trauma response that gets praised, the one that

looks like kindness while it quietly erases the person performing it. Standard

people-pleasing advice rarely works for a neurodivergent brain, because "set a

boundary," "feel your feelings," and "just say no" all assume abilities that

executive function, alexithymia, and rejection sensitivity can take offline in

the moment.

Episode by episode, this show walks through a neurologically informed recovery

path drawn from Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and

Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory. You'll

come to understand the AuDHD fawning brain, map your own patterns across

relationships and sensory-executive life, and build real skills, boundaries,

schema healing, parts work, defusion, values, and identity, before moving into

tiered daily toolkits, advocacy, and self-compassion that hold up on low-energy

days. It's warm, practical, and affirming, and it treats fawning as an

intelligent adaptation you're allowed to outgrow.
