In this episode of the Big F*cking Dreams podcast, Life Coach Hannah Kissel explores the Fawn Trauma Response, a lesser-known reaction to trauma characterized by people-pleasing and appeasement behaviors. She discusses its roots in complex trauma, particularly in corporate environments, where individuals often struggle to advocate for themselves. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness, practical steps to overcome fawning behaviors, and the role of Internal Family Systems therapy in understanding and addressing these responses. Kissel emphasizes that change is possible and encourages listeners to seek help and support.
