    “For the self-proclaimed people pleasers and perfectionists out there. This book gives both real life examples of how the fawn response as a reaction to trauma leads us to feeling burnt out and struggling to find out way back to trusting ourselves and others. It also gives practical advice and modalities of therapy to seek out.”
