Episode #34: Fear of Authority... what does that even mean!?

Ever wonder why you always seem to think you’ve done something wrong, like “they’re going to find out” or you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop? It could be a fear of authority. Whether it’s a boss, the cops, my wife or my parents, I seem to have a knot in my gut that’s attached to “doing something wrong “. I equally rebel against anyone I think may be “trying to tell me what to do”. Talk about a contradiction! I find that this fear effects most areas in my life; my work, my family, my creativity and my recovery. It shows up in the form of procrastination, finding it almost impossible to finish a project and stepping out to try something new. At this point, I’m hyper aware of the knot in my gut but haven’t been able to “think” my out of it. Seems as though there’s a lot more work to do. As a mentor used to say to me all the damn time, “awareness in itself is not a solution”. And he is right. I’ll keep you posted on the solution piece when I start being able to live it!
