Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I explore the often-overlooked fawn response in survival mode. I discuss how this response manifests in behaviors like people-pleasing and avoiding conflict, and how to recognize and address these patterns for regulation and increased executive functioning. I go over practical strategies for you to break free from the fawn response, advocate for yourself, and foster genuine connections with others.

Takeaways

  • Fawn is a response to feeling unsafe and is often overlooked.
  • Being in survival mode can lead to people-pleasing behaviors.
  • Setting boundaries is essential for regulation
  • Asking for help is a crucial step in overcoming the fawn response.
  • Taking up space and expressing needs creates connections.
  • Practicing vulnerability can lead to stronger relationships.
  • It's safe to say no and prioritize your own needs.
