Dr. Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Her book is FAWNING: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves—and How to Find our Way Back.

In this episode we talk about:

What is fawning, actually
Chronic vs situational fawning
The physiological ramifications of fawning
How power plays into all of this
Ways to get clarity around unseen bruises and wounds that drive your behavior
Owning your anger – and how to express it in healthy ways
How to know if you're a fawner
Practical steps to unfawn
Accessible approaches to regulating your nervous system
How to set boundaries
Fawning and un-fawning in a work context, specifically
And her observation, which I've been thinking about a lot, that wounding happens in relationships… but so does healing
