    In this special workshop replay, I guide you through the somatic foundations of sexual fawning—why it happens, how it shows up, and what to do with the shame, confusion, and disconnection that often follows.Whether you're a recovering fawner or just beginning to realize how often your body says “yes” while your mind says “no,” this episode offers a grounded space to reflect and reconnect.We explore: • Why sexual fawning is not about being manipulative—but about safety • How trauma responses can show up in “safe” relationships • The subtle and overt ways we override our boundaries for connection • How to begin reclaiming your inner no (and your real yes)

    84 | Ingrid Clayton on Fawning, Trauma, and Finally Telling the Truth

    Dr. Ingrid Clayton is no stranger to the complexities of trauma. A clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience, she's worked at the intersection of psychology, addiction recovery, and trauma healing—long before those words became buzzwords.But her work got deeply personal with the release of her memoir Believing Me, where she named, for the first time, the covert abuse and emotional enmeshment that shaped her nervous system. It was raw, unflinching, and revolutionary in how it gave language to experiences so many of us carry but can't name.Now she's back with Fawning: The Trauma Response We Don't Talk About—a book that goes deeper into the trauma pattern she knows all too well. Not fight, not flight, not freeze. But fawn. The survival response that looks like being “easygoing,” “helpful,” or “good,” while your body quietly braces for impact.In this episode, we talk about:How Fawning builds on the foundation of Believing MeWhy fawning is so often missed—even by therapistsThe biology of appeasement and what it costs over timeWhat it means to stop being “the good one” and start being realAnd the long road from trauma bonding to boundary settingIngrid doesn't just write about trauma. She brings a level of clarity and honesty that cuts through the noise—no posturing, no sugar-coating, just deep clinical insight and lived truth.———Connect with Kallie on social media at @kali.somatics Kallie's signature program, VENOM: https://kalisomatics.com/venom To learn more about Kallie's Greece Retreat in May 2026 https://kalisomatics.com/GREECERETREAT ____________ Connect with Dr. Ingrid Clayton on social media at @IngridClaytonPhD Pre-order her new book at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/779579/fawning-by-dr-ingrid-clayton/

    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 boundariesIf your body has been whispering “I'm not okay” for years—this episode is your permission slip to start listening.
