Fawning: A Misunderstood Feminine Strength
In today's podcast, we get to understand the fawning response—a survival mechanism often masked as people-pleasing. We explore why this response is particularly widespread among women, influenced by historical and cultural pressures, and how it's a very important defense mechanism in threatening situations.
There are real life examples illustrating the critical role of this often-misunderstood reflex.
We also tackle the fine line between people-pleasing and genuine respect, and uncover how distress intolerance fuels people-pleasing behaviors. Learn the importance of developing the ability to tolerate discomfort for setting healthy boundaries.
