NAThere is nothing wrong with helping the people you love, but when you lose yourself to consistently help others, it may be time to work on your boundaries and self esteem.
I will be going through all the trauma responses in my next videos ❤️ the first one I want to focus on is fawn; the people pleasing response. This response can come from a variety of experiences. For childhood trauma survivors, fawn can be a trauma response that was developed as a way to stay safe forms neglectful or abusive parents. Many people who have a fawn trauma response would need to “keep the peace” and keep others happy to ensure their safety. When we people please, we often seek validation based on how useful we feel to other people, this can’t be how we measure our self worth or we will never put ourselves first.
People pleasing is often an overlooked trauma response which is referred to as “fawning,” This can result in:
- feeling guilty for saying no
- feeling guilty when you are angry at others
- feeling responsible for other feelings
- blaming yourself when things go wrong
- being confused about your values and priorities
- compromising your own happiness for others
- low self-esteem & confidence
- trying to fit in/a large desire to be included
- feeling drained and exhausted
A crucial step in healing the “fawn” response will be learning to develop your true values as well as learning how to create and assert healthy boundaries.
