Is the Fawn Response real?
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
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! And if you’re feeling the need to, either your relational pattern is playing out, or the person you’re with isn’t safe.
Never shame yourself for surviving, it’s amazing you got here.
Take care,
Helen
