You know Fight, Flight, and Freeze. But have you heard of the Fawn trauma response? It's the instinctive urge to people-please and appease a threat to avoid conflict or danger, often at the expense of your own needs.

Healing isn’t meant to be a journey walked alone. 💛

We heal through connection — in the moments we share our stories, listen without judgment, and remind one another that we’re not alone in our struggles.

At Inner Balance Counseling, we believe community is a vital part of healing. Together, we find strength, understanding, and balance. 🌿

💛 Today on World Kindness Day, we’re reminding everyone that kindness isn’t just something we give — it’s something we feel.

A kind word. A patient pause. A moment of self-compassion. 🌿

Let’s make kindness a daily practice, for others and for ourselves.

💫 Be kind to your mind. Be kind to your world.
