83 | Explaining the people pleaser to rage pipeline
Description
Ever gone from smiling sweetly through discomfort… to fantasizing about slapping someone in the face?
Yeah. Same.
In this episode, I break down the people pleaser to rage pipeline—what happens when your body has been stuck in a fawn-freeze loop for years, and then finally starts to thaw. Spoiler: it’s not always cute. Sometimes, it’s loud, messy, and full of backlogged “no’s” that come out all at once.
I share my own story of how learning French (and drinking cheap wine) unlocked a rage I didn’t even know I was holding—and what it taught me about the biology of fawning, freeze responses, and unexpressed boundaries.
We also get into:
* Why rage is a natural part of recovery from people-pleasing
* Why cathartic rage practices (like screaming or punching pillows) aren’t always trauma-informed
* How to work with anger in a way that’s titrated, embodied, and safe
* The power of translating somatic cues into real-life boundaries
If your body has been whispering “I’m not okay” for years—this episode is your permission slip to start listening.
