Routine Checkup: Fawn - When No Looks Like Yes

Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher, trauma-informed pleasure educator. This week she joins the fellas to talk about the fawn response. What is the fawn response you may ask? It's one of your stress responses, silly. You know those types of conversations that sort of blow your mind wide open and fundamentally change the way you see the world? This is one of them! What does it mean to fawn? How does it affect your life? How does it manifest between patient and practitioner? On top of all of that the gang also touches on institutionalized hierarchies, and our unhealthy cultural attitudes around death. Don't worry. We'll have Nischa on again some day soon!
