Description
Have you ever smiled when your heart wanted to scream? Or said yes while your body whispered no? How have we twisted ourselves to stay close to love, even when it harmed us? Fawning is the survival song we learn to sing when love feels conditional. This session will look at the dance between appeasement and attachment, through the lens of the vagus nerve and its role in shaping our relational responses. What does your body remember about how to stay close? And what becomes possible when we can rewrite that script? We meet our strategies with tenderness—not to fix them, but to understand and appreciate their roots. Join Sarah Peyton for an inquiry into fawning, nervous system intelligence, and the longings underneath compliance.
