Kennst du das Gefühl, dass jemand plötzlich anders ist – und du sofort denkst: „Habe ich etwas falsch gemacht?“ Dann wirst du besonders nett, entschuldigst dich vorsorglich oder versuchst alles, um die Stimmung wieder geradezubiegen.

Leon Windscheid und Atze Schröder sprechen über die vier Stressreaktionen Fight, Flight, Freeze und Fawn – und ob Fawning wirklich eine wissenschaftlich belegte Trauma-Reaktion oder eher ein hilfreiches psychologisches Modell ist. Und wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen Empathie, Rücksichtnahme und dem ständigen Aufgeben der eigenen Bedürfnisse?
