Fawning and People Pleasing Responses During Sexual Assault and Uncomfortable Sexual Encounters

Send us a text

In this episode, Sarah and her guest, Sonya Strange, discuss why fawning and people-pleasing is a survival response caused by past trauma. This fawning response can affect every aspect of our relationships including sexual encounters. There is limited information available on the topic of fawning during sex, therefore this is an important episode to listen to and become educated on why fawning can lead to discomfort and shame after sexual assault and other sexual encounters. Please share this episode with your loved ones who have endured sexual trauma. They might gain great insight and learn what steps to take to further their healing.
