What is ‘Fawning’ In Relationships? - with Lyn Smith&Nischa Phair - a podcast by Lyn Smith
from 2022-04-27T23:00
Lyn is joined by Nischa Phair, a trauma-informed pleasure educator, and the founder of SomaBody Pleasure Work, to talk about how she helps people rebuild positive connections between their brain and heart, and her incredible book 'Fawn: When No Looks Like Yes', about the ways in which we are sometimes conditioned to go along with things we might not feel comfortable with.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Fawning is a relatively new term, and is used to describe a stress response - a thing we do in order to feel comfortable and safe that seeks to limit the amount of conflict or harm we may experience.
- The health of our relationships is inextricably linked to our ability to become the person we were meant to be when we arrived on the planet.
- Women often feel the need to go along with something they might not feel comfortable with in order to make a situation acceptable. This can often become apparent in a sexual senario.
BEST MOMENTS
'I took it upon myself to create a system that would be supportive for people'
'Fawning is a stress response'
'Expectations are constantly placed upon women to be caring and nurturing'

ABOUT THE GUEST - Nischa Phair
Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher, trauma-informed pleasure educator and the founder of SomaBody Pleasure Work®. She has been a trauma-informed facilitator and embodiment coach for 14 years, and has held space for thousands of students and clients in that time.
Her book - Fawn: When No Looks Like Yes - is the first to ever be written about fawning in the context of sex and consent. In addition to sounding the alarm, Phair attempts to answer the million-dollar question: "how can sex and intimacy thrive in a post #metoo, post-pandemic world?" Part exposé, part memoir, part self-study guide, "Fawn" is a rousing call to celebrate our authentic sexuality, and to invite more integrity into our bedrooms and more pleasure into our lives.
