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.
