57. Fawning No More: Healthy Relationships Post-Narcissistic Abuse

Fawning is a common response for those who have experienced childhood narcissistic abuse. I’ll review what it is, how it can show up in relationships, and how to address it. Then, we talk about how to stop attracting people who take advantage of your fawning tendencies. Listen in for practical strategies you can use to stop fawning behaviors and how to replace fawning with healthy boundaries. Learn to protect your mental health and emotional well-being. With tools, insights, and new strategies, you can break free from patterns that have held you back and kept you down for your whole life.
