Trauma, Boundaries&The Fawn Response with Jane Clapp - a podcast by Cora Geroux

Wow. Ok. This episode was BIG for me personally. And from what I know of working with yoga teachers for many years, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of you out there who resonate with the topics I discuss with Jane Clapp. 

Jane started her working life in the wellness industry as a personal trainer, but her career has spanned several decades & multiple modalities, including yoga. Today, Janes work centers around soma and the psyche, and the intersections between psychology, trauma, the nervous system and the body. 

In this episode, Jane and I go deep into the fawn response, sometimes called the tend-and-befriend response, and how that pattern can play out in our relationships and life. I share my struggles with setting boundaries, cultivating a healthy fight response, and overall being a people-pleaser in recovery. 

I have a feeling this episode might be a game changer for some of you - just like it was for me. I hope you enjoy the show!
