When Fear Gets in the Way

Today on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking about fear and resistance and what to do when they get in the way. They highlight the various responses we all can have to fear: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn and share which responses the two of them typically experience. Emmalee and Jen discuss the nuances that exist with fear and how fear can both help us and hurt us. They answer your questions about a fear of being less than, the shame spiral that can occur when fear wins, how to work on rewiring our brains from triggers we learned in our childhood, feeling paralyzed by fear, our appetites for risk, and so much more! The episode wraps up with a Dear Em & Jen about a listener's Mother in Law violating her and her partner's boundaries. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
