Stop puzzling the Fawn Action with love. In this scientific deep-dive, we expose how hyper-empathy and the trauma action of fawning function as a sophisticated control mechanism to manage dispute and fear.
If you've been told your "compassion" is a gift, however you feel exhausted, resentful, and undetectable, you aren't healing-- you're concealing. Using Polyvagal Theory and the work of Pete Walker, we detect the "Compassion Trap" and offer a medical extraction package to reclaim your autonomy.
TL; DR: This video deconstructs the Fawn Action (the fourth "F" of injury). We check out how hyper-attunement to others' state of minds is really a survival-based scanning habits used to preempt danger. By exposing the concealed agreements behind your compassion, we reveal you how to move from "appeasement theater" to authentic, boundary-led care.
WHAT WE COVER:
Most people see compassion as a virtue. Scientific psychology reveals a darker side: Hyper-Empathy. When you monitor others' emotions to keep the peace, you aren't connecting-- you're handling. This video breaks down the Somatic Tax of fawning, the neuroscience of Hyper-Attunement, and why your "generosity" may in fact be an attempt to control your environment to feel safe.
In this 60-minute diagnostic exposure, you will find out: ✅ The difference between clean care and the Fawn Reaction. ✅ How Polyvagal Theory discusses your "smile through the alarm." ✅ The anatomy of Covert Contracts: The covert billing of your generosity. ✅ The 4R Framework (Acknowledge, Control, Expose, Demand) to stop fawning. ✅ Anti-Fawn Tests to confirm if your relationships are developed on trust or compliance.
