Healing Through Mirror Work: Breaking the Trauma Response of Fawning and Reconnecting with Your Authentic Self
Mirror work is a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery, especially for those who struggle with people-pleasing behaviours rooted in trauma responses such as fawning. Fawning is a survival response to trauma where individuals prioritise the needs and desires of others over their own in order to seek safety and approval. This often leads to a loss of self-identity and a disconnect from one's true essence. By incorporating mirror work into your healing journey, you can begin to unravel the patterns of people-pleasing and reclaim your power by reconnecting with your self-identity and higher self.
