Hello, tour companions! As we come across new information, new resources, and new teachers who help us see something from a deeper angle, we get to share that with each other. That's exactly what's happened here. A friend recommended the book Fawning by Ingrid Clayton. As I listened to the audiobook, it helped me make sense of my own patterns with so much more clarity. I knew I had to bring it to you. What's new in The Knowing (The Living Ground): 🦊 Fawning: The Response That Hides is a brand-new lesson. 🔥 Overwhelm and Burnout now has its own lesson. 🌿 The surrounding lessons have been refreshed and linked together, so the whole section reads as one clear picture. If you've already green-checked lessons in The Knowing, you'll notice some new ones waiting for you. I highly recommend taking a look. Why fawning matters: "People-pleaser" is a label many of us wear like a badge. But underneath it is often a trauma response called fawning. Somewhere along the way, you learned that staying safe meant taking care of everyone else's needs instead of your own. And to do that, your body learned to switch off your ability to feel what you need. If you've ever noticed that you struggle to know what you're feeling, or what you want, this may be part of why. It's not a flaw. It's a survival adaptation you learned early on, one that may have gotten stuck running long after you needed it. This led to another update: Over in The Traveller, the Feeling Emotions lesson in the Emotional Personality folder now includes the work of Marc Brackett on naming and feeling your emotions. It's a gentle path back to the feelings that fawning may have turned down. The lessons are short, and each one paints a picture. You can move through them at your own pace and go as deep as you're ready to. The more you understand, the more you can bring to your own healing and transformation, and the more possible real change becomes. Come take a look, and let me know in the comments what lands for you. 💛
