Nima Rahmany - Chronic "People Pleasing" is a Trauma Response: How to Heal and Create Healthier Relationships & Boundaries
Episode 156
Tuesday, 9 December, 2025
Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWhat if your body is telling the truth you won’t say out loud? We sit down with Nima Rahmany to unpack the trauma response of "fawning", and learn how chronic people pleasing freezes your authentic voice, strains your nervous system, and quietly fuels physical symptoms. Nima opens up about his own wake-up call, and the hard lessons that turned into practical tools for regulation and repair.We trace how children learn to trade authenticity for attachment, and how power dynamics decide whether we fight, flee, freeze, or fawn. Nima breaks down polyvagal theory in plain language so you can recognize sympathetic activation, dorsal shutdown, and ventral safety in your own body and in others. You’ll learn how to become the operator of your state, not a passenger—interrupting people pleasing, tolerating the guilt of setting honest boundaries, and using anger as medicine rather than something to hide. Nima shares the “rage run,” a structured blend of sprint intervals and striking that completes fight-flight energy so calm can return. We also explore relationship dynamics: the shift from chaotic, trauma-bonded intensity to steady, secure connection; and why true repair beats perfection. Real stories show health turning points and relational breakthroughs when clients stop outsourcing safety and start choosing themselves. Ready to trade chronic appeasement for nervous system safety and self-respect? Listen now, share it with someone who needs stronger boundaries, and subscribe to get more honest conversations on healing and secure love.
