About

Welcome to Psych2Go! We are a grassroot organization with the mission of making psychology, mental health, and self-discovery accessible, relatable, and a little less lonely. The founder initially a psychology student, found that psychology is super useful, but unfortunately wasn't accessible to the public like it is today. Through collaborative effort, him and a bunch of animators, students, made bite-sized, animated videos, to explore topics like anxiety, depression, trauma healing, relationships, emotional intelligence, self-love, communication skills, ADHD, autism, introversion, and more. Our iconic sprout mascot represents growth, resilience, and the hope that—with the right care—we can all thrive. Why subscribe? Because Psych2Go isn’t just a channel. It’s a global mental wellness community, where everyone can feel seen. Let’s grow together, one mind at a time. 🌱✨ For Collaborations & Partnerships: 📩 [email protected] 🎨 Animator & Artist Opportunities: [email protected]

Video Description

"Fawning" is when someone tries really hard to make others happy or avoid problems, even if it means ignoring their own needs. It's a way some people cope with difficult situations, especially when they can't fight or run away. This way of coping might have helped you get through a tough childhood, but now that you're out of that situation, it could be causing more harm than good. This is why understanding fawning is important for healing from tough experiences because it can affect how we set boundaries and connect with others. How many of these signs do you relate to?
