Patrick C. Beebe, PhD. Explains The Term Fawning/Appeasement Behaviors After Trauma

Slam the Gavel welcomes Dr. Patrick C. Beebe , PhD. in General Psychology with an expertise in Parental Alienation.  He had studied and researched Parental Alienation since the early 1990's.
      Patrick was last on the show July 27th, 2021 Season #2, Episode 75.
      Being a Navy Veteran, Dr. Beebe has  experienced this first hand and the devastating effects of what a High Conflict divorce  can do to a career, a new marriage/relationship,  a person's health and to one's self-worth.
     In the show we discusses appeasement behaviors after trauma and what exactly what "fawning" is and how it evolves from Parental Alienation. Fawning is a survival response to threatening treatment toward the child by the Custodial/Alienating Parent. What the response eventually turns into, is that the child becomes a "people pleaser." From there as they enter into adulthood, they now cannot think for themselves. This is not to be confused with the "freeze" response where the child puts on a flat affect and doesn't let anything bother them.
    Children learn from the parent. From there this is how they will treat their friends, spouse and co-workers. Fawning is to be immediately recognized and brought to the attention of the attorneys, CPS and courts. Fawning is a form of child abuse causing the child to fear the Target Parent and to avoid further abuse, essentially collapse and die inside.
    This was a highly informative podcast not to be missed.
