A reset for when you’re over-giving, avoiding conflict, or disappearing to keep the peace.
🙌🏼 The Fawn Response Mini Reset
What’s Happening
Your system shifts into Fawn Mode when safety feels tied to pleasing others.
You feel disconnected from your needs, overly agreeable, or resentful beneath the surface.
Science Says → Fawn is learned self-protection. People-pleasing reduces conflict, which your body reads as survival.
The Reset Formula
1. Shift Your Mindset → “I don’t owe anyone a version of me that isn’t true.”
2. Reset with a Ritual → Place hand on heart. Whisper your own name kindly.
3. Make a Power Move → Say no (even small: “Not now” / “Later”). Or pause before yes.
⚡ Fast-Pass Reset: Hand on heart + say, “I’m here too.”
Affirmation: “I can honor others without abandoning myself.”
Fawning once kept you safe.
Now, safety grows when you belong to yourself first.
