Healing The Fawn Response With EFT

If you struggle to say no, feel responsible for others’ feelings, or find it hard to set boundaries, this EFT (tapping) practice is for you.

Alongside fight, flight, and freeze, the nervous system has a fawn response, which is a survival strategy where we appease others to stay safe. This often develops in environments where boundaries were not respected or it wasn’t safe to express needs.

In this trauma-informed EFT meditation, we’ll work gently with the body to build nervous system safety, release people-pleasing patterns, and support your ability to set clear, grounded boundaries with confidence and self-trust.

And if you are new to EFT, I cover how to locate the acupressure points used in this practice in my talk An Introduction to EFT Tapping.

Reviews

This was so helpful for working through old patterns that had really cropped up again in the last week. Very gentle, great pacing, and really supportive statements. Thank you so much for this meditation! 💛
