✭✭ 5.31 Full Extended Version | Fawning, Enmeshment, Relational Triggers (What is CPTSD, Alex)
This episode delves into the complex world of fawning, enmeshment, and relational trauma. We explore how early childhood experiences shape our tendency to prioritize others’ needs over our own, leading to codependent relationships and a loss of personal identity. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing fawning behaviors, setting healthy boundaries, and developing autonomy in relationships. By understanding these patterns, individuals can begin to break free from people-pleasing tendencies and cultivate more balanced, fulfilling relationships. The journey towards recovery involves challenging deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors, but it’s a crucial step in reclaiming one’s sense of self and improving overall mental health.
