 Location: The Achievher Studio

RESERVE YOU SPOT - EARLY BIRD

Join Constanze and Anna, founders of Achievher for People Pleasing Recovery Plan, an in-person workshop in Dubai and part of our Somatic Foundations Series. In just 3 hours, learn science-backed tools to understand where these old, outdated tendencies stem from and learn how to shift into confident boundary setting with somatic practices.  

Yes! I'm Ready!

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You say yes when you mean no.
  • You avoid conflict at all costs.
  • You feel like you’re constantly over-giving and under-receiving.
  • You apologize for things that aren't your fault
  • Setting boundaries feels impossible
  • You prioritize everyone else's needs over your own

 

You're not broken. You're experiencing something called "fawning" - and it's time to break free.

The Hidden Trauma Response That's Keeping You Stuck 

 

You've heard of fight, flight, and freeze—but there's a fourth trauma response that affects millions yet remains widely misunderstood: Fawning.

What is Fawning?

In her groundbreaking book "Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back," Dr. Ingrid Clayton reveals how fawning is a protective strategy where we become agreeable, accommodating, and invisible to survive unsafe situations.

It's why we:
- Stay in bad jobs that drain us
- Tolerate unhealthy relationships
- Abandon ourselves to keep the peace
- Feel stuck in patterns we can't break

Quote: "Fawning explains why we stay in bad jobs, fall into unhealthy partnerships, and tolerate dysfunctional environments, even when it seems so obvious to others that we should go." — Dr. Ingrid Clayton

The Signs of Fawning:

âś“ Taking the blame even when it's not your responsibility
âś“ Conflict avoidance at all costs, even when it harms you
âś“ Hypervigilance around others' moods and needs
âś“ Caretaking at the expense of yourself
âś“ Over-giving while under-receiving
âś“ Apologizing to people who are harming you

Here's the truth: Fawning is a genius adaptation. It helped you survive. But when it becomes your default response in everyday life, it stops being protective and starts being a prison.

The Good News?

You can break the pattern of chronic fawning—once you see it for the trauma response it is. And that's exactly where healing begins.

 

Introducing: The People Pleasing Recovery Plan

Knowledge alone isn't enough. To truly "unfawn" and reclaim yourself, you need practical tools, embodied practices, and a supportive environment where you can practice setting boundaries without fear.

This one-day transformative workshop is designed to help you break free from the fawning response and reclaim your authentic self.
