Are you the one who always says "yes" even when your heart whispers "no"? Do you find yourself avoiding conflict at all costs, sacrificing your own needs to keep the peace? If that sounds familiar, you may be experiencing what's known as the fawn response—a deeply ingrained survival strategy where love, safety, and approval are earned through self-abandonment. Boundaries for the Fawn Type offers a compassionate guide to reclaiming your voice without losing connection. This sixth book in the Fawn Recovery Series helps readers who are tired of people-pleasing, burned out from overgiving, and finally ready to set healthy, loving boundaries. Instead of tough-love advice or rigid rules, this book brings together trauma-informed insights, nervous system awareness, and heart-centered communication techniques designed specifically for those who have been conditioned to keep others happy at the cost of themselves. Inside, you'll learn: How the fawn response affects your relationships, decision-making, and identity What your nervous system needs to feel safe when setting boundaries Why saying "no" can feel terrifying—and how to do it gently and firmly How to stop overfunctioning in relationships while staying kind Communication strategies that feel natural for sensitive, empathic people How to hold your ground when others push back Why honoring your own limits creates deeper, not weaker, connection With relatable case examples, self-reflection prompts, and trauma-safe practices, this book gently supports you in moving from fear-based compliance to confident self-respect. Whether you're recovering from a toxic relationship, navigating family dynamics, or learning to stand your ground at work, Boundaries for the Fawn Type will guide you back to your needs—without shame or shutdown. This is not a book about pushing people away. It's a book about bringing yourself back. It's for the woman who's always been the peacemaker, the helper, the one who makes room for everyone else—except herself. It's for the man who's been praised for being "easygoing" while quietly burning out inside. It's for anyone who's been conditioned to fear rejection, but who is ready to stop abandoning themselves in the name of love. Through gentle tools and empowering stories, you'll discover how setting boundaries can become a deeply loving act—for both yourself and others. You don't have to choose between love and limits. You're allowed to be kind and clear. You're allowed to say "enough." You're allowed to stay soft—and still say no. You'll also learn how boundary-setting is directly tied to nervous system health—how your body reacts when you're about to disappoint someone, why saying "no" can trigger panic, and how to create internal safety before having difficult conversations. With neuroscience made simple, each chapter offers grounding tools that help calm the overwhelm, regulate stress responses, and teach you to trust your inner signals again. You'll discover the deep connection between your brain, your body, and your ability to set limits with love. Boundaries for the Fawn Type is not about becoming "tough" or emotionless. It's about becoming real. It's about learning how to stay soft, sensitive, and kind—without betraying yourself in the process. You've spent your life caring for others. Now it's time to care for you. Whether this is your first time learning about boundaries or part of a deeper trauma recovery journey, this book will meet you exactly where you are—with warmth, clarity, and encouragement that honors your pace. Even if you've tried before and "failed," this time, it's different. Because this time, you're doing it with compassion.
