The Devastating Trauma Response No One Talks About

<p>Dr. Phil and psychologist Dr. Ingrid Clayton uncover the hidden trauma response that drives people-pleasing and how to stop abandoning yourself to feel safe.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://www.ingridclayton.com" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Dr. Ingrid Clayton</a> is a licensed clinical psychologist and bestselling author of <em><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/779579/fawning-by-dr-ingrid-clayton" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves — and How to Find Our Way Back</a>.</em></p> <p>Drawing from her own journey through narcissistic abuse and decades of clinical work, Dr. Clayton reveals how chronic people-pleasing is not a personality flaw, it's a survival strategy wired into the nervous system. Together, they unpack why fawning is often rewarded, how it hides in relationships and workplaces, and what it takes to reclaim your voice and your boundaries.</p> <p>Featured in <em>Oprah Daily</em>, <em>Psychology Today</em>, and <em>Women's Health</em>, Dr. Clayton's message is both a warning and a roadmap: healing begins when you stop apologizing for existing.</p> <p> This episode is brought to you by Greenlight: Raise financially smart kids.
