RYME TALKS: Why Saying No Feels So Hard: Understanding the Fawn Response

In this episode, Loes opens up about her past experiences with people-pleasing and the emotional challenges of saying no. She and Hanna explore the deeper connection between these patterns and the fawn trauma response — a nervous system reaction that often leads to self-blame and shame. Together, they offer insight into why it's not always easy to speak up and how support and somatic understanding can help shift these patterns.
