So many of us live everyday with so many perceived threats around us and our body is ready to fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. It’s exhausting. Children do this too and it often looks like bad behavior. It becomes our norm and automatic until we are able to recognize what’s going on in our bodies and reprogram ourselves to respond differently. ❤️
If you overthink, shut down, people-please, or get easily overwhelmed… that’s not a personality flaw.
That’s a stress response.
Be gentle with yourself. Your body has been doing its best to protect you.
