from The Recess Bell · host Joshua Umahi - The Recess Bell

As part of TRB's latest mental health project, 'The People-Pleasing Project' — Mentality Monday co-hosts Joshua and NikiMarie discuss trauma responses under the theme of people-pleasing... more specifically: freeze and fawn. You've probably heard of "fight vs flight", but "freeze vs fawn" are deeply integrated into a people-pleaser's routine and life overall? What is "freezing" and "fawning", and what does it say about someone who does either response, or both? Joshua and Niki give their personal experiences with this concept and discuss its psychological bases.
