Whitney Goodman interviews Dr. Ingrid Clayton about her new book \"Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back.\" They explore fawning as the fourth trauma response, how it differs from people-pleasing and codependency, why children and marginalized people develop this survival strategy, and how it can masquerade as success while leading to complete self-abandonment.
