The Fawn Response has been declared a primary trauma response, but is it really? Understanding this distinction between primary and secondary response is vital because it empowers you to be able to manage it. You don’t have to fawn!

Never shame yourself for surviving, it’s amazing you got here.

Take care,

Helen
