 Sign up for the FREE Discover What's Blocking your Goals Workshop 1/13/25 @3:00pm central (if you can't be there live get the recording!)  Try the Free Enneagram Quiz!!!!  Message me on Instagram @Angie.Alchemist and ask all your Enneagram questions!  Check out more at AngieAlchemist.com    Our brains are wired to protect us when we sense danger, activating one of these survival modes: ✨ Fight: Reacts with aggression—explosive temper, controlling behavior, or quick defensiveness. ✨ Flight: Runs from stress—chronic busyness, anxiety, avoiding stillness, or commitment. ✨ Freeze: Shuts down—numbness, procrastination, withdrawal, or feeling stuck. ✨ Fawn: People-pleases—overly agreeable, avoids conflict, dissociates, or loses boundaries. ✨ Flop: Collapses—complete overwhelm, blackouts, or disengagement. Here’s the thing: overcoming these responses isn’t about muscling through with willpower. It’s about understanding the patterns, rewiring them, and giving yourself the tools to handle stress without defaulting to survival mode. When you shift out of these responses, you’re not just healing—you’re setting yourself up to meet your goals with clarity and intention. 💜
