In today’s episode, I am joined by Rebekah Ballagh, a qualified counsellor, coach, 5x best-selling author, illustrator, and creator of the popular Instagram community Journey to Wellness, to discuss how we can get out of the fawn nervous system response and release pleasing people.
Have you heard of the fawn nervous system response? It’s a trauma-induced reaction that occurs when individuals feel the need to appease and please others to avoid perceived danger or conflict. Common symptoms of the fawn response include people-pleasing behaviours, difficulty setting boundaries, difficulty saying no, and taking responsibility for others’ emotions.
So if you are nodding your head along thinking, yup, that’s me - this episode will be for you!
