Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves--and How to Find Our Way Back by clinical psychologist Ingrid Clayton is a trauma-informed nonfiction book about people pleasing, self-abandonment, and recovery. Rather than treating excessive agreeableness as a personality flaw, Clayton frames fawning as a survival response that can develop in unsafe relational environments, especially during childhood or other chronic trauma. The book sits at the intersection of psychology, memoir, and self-help, drawing on clinical experience and personal insight to explain why some people respond to threat by appeasing, caretaking, or becoming highly compliant. Its purpose is both explanatory and practical: to help readers recognize fawning patterns, understand their origins, and begin the gradual process of reclaiming agency, self-trust, and authentic self-expression.
