Do you find yourself saying yes when you really mean no?
Do you automatically accommodate others, avoid conflict, apologize, over-explain, or put other people's needs before your own?
Sometimes people-pleasing isn't simply a habit or a lack of confidence. Fawning can be an automatic stress response—a learned way of seeking safety through appeasing, accommodating, or prioritizing the needs of others. These patterns may develop in response to trauma, attachment experiences, stress, or other experiences in which being attuned to others felt necessary for safety or connection.
Embodied Self is an experiential somatic psychotherapy group designed for people who are ready to understand these patterns and develop a stronger connection with their own sense of self: needs, emotions, boundaries, goals and voice.
Through somatic psychotherapy, psychoeducation, reflection, movement, and body-based practices, participants will learn to recognize what happens in the body when the fawning response is activated—and practice creating space to choose a different response.
Participants will:
Explore how fear, trauma, and the fawning response can contribute to people-pleasing and self-abandonment.
Increase awareness of emotions, body cues, needs, impulses, and personal limits.
Recognize patterns such as saying yes too quickly, difficulty saying no, over-accommodating, apologizing, over-explaining, and prioritizing others at the expense of self.
Practice somatic interventions that create space between an automatic response and a more intentional choice.
Develop somatic-based communication skills for expressing needs, preferences, limits, and boundaries.
Explore what it feels like in the body to take up space, use your voice, tolerate discomfort, and remain connected to yourself.
Cultivate greater self-trust, authenticity, confidence, and self-compassion.
Beyond the Group
Each week, participants will receive assignments, psychoeducational materials, guided exercises, and somatic practices to continue exploring these skills between sessions.
The goal is not simply to stop pleasing others, it is to develop the ability to be confident and feel worthy while remaining connected to others.
Who is this group for?
This group is for adults and adolescents who recognize in themselves patterns of fawning, people-pleasing, excessive accommodation, conflict avoidance, difficulty expressing needs, or losing their sense of self in relationships and want to develop a more embodied sense of self, agency, and authenticity.
Come learn to notice your automatic responses, listen to your body, and practice choosing from a more connected sense of self.
