Reviews

“Anyone who has ever people-pleased, self-silenced, tried to be perfect, or apologized to someone who is harming them must read this book….Dr. Clayton brings her personal story and clinical wisdom to shine a light on this ‘forgotten’ albeit universal trauma response. This book is a must-read, and a loving and empathic guidebook to healing from all forms of relational trauma.” —Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of It’s Not You: Understanding and Healing from Narcissistic People “So many of us learned to be attuned to everyone but ourselves. In Fawning, Dr. Clayton shows how this pattern begins, how it persists, and how to begin the process of returning to your own needs. Her insights are a gift to anyone who’s ever confused people-pleasing with love.” —Jessica Baum, LMHC, author of Anxiously Attached “In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Clayton masterfully illuminates a trauma response that is rarely discussed in depth. With creativity, courage, and exceptional insight, she delivers profound knowledge while keeping readers engaged throughout this important exploration. Fawning stands as an essential contribution to our understanding of human behavior, offering both clarity and practical wisdom for those navigating the effects of complex trauma. A truly transformative read.” —Dr. Galit Atlas, author of Emotional Inheritance, faculty NYU Postdoctoral Program for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
