On today's episode, Luis welcomes back Dr. Ingrid Clayton for a deep dive into fawning.

Both share their personal experiences with fawning, both historical and present, and how their relationship with this trauma response has evolved over time.

They discuss:

  • how conflict and authenticity feels risky, and fawning helps to avoid it
  • stepping into authenticity
  • increasing capacity for discomfort and relating to activation
  • finding safety in the self, and building a relationship with the self
  • how fawning breaks boundaries while also keeping you safe

Dr. Ingrid discusses her new book on fawning, and how writing it has been transformative.
