Fawning by Ingrid Clayton
Readers will learn WHY we fawn, HOW to recognize the signs of fawning and WHAT we can do to successfully 'unfawn', using Clayton's invaluable tools and resources to find meaningful, reciprocal connections - and finally be ourselves.As a woman in long-term recovery and a lifelong seeker, I've read every book, joined every program, and sat with countless professionals trying to understand what was wrong with meI've found glimpses of insight along the way-but nothing has touched the root of my pain with the clarity, depth, and compassion of Fawning. Every page is a revelation.
Dr. Clayton brings piercing clarity to the confusion, self-abandonment, and emotional contortions I've lived with my entire life. She shines a compassionate light on what was actually happening-not just in me, but around me. And in doing so, she offers a real path to freedom.
For the first time, I felt fully seen-not pathologized, not judged, but deeply understood.
Fawning isn't just another self-help book. It's a paradigm shift. A lifeline. I believe it will liberate millions.
