It's not resistance, it's fear

from Beneath the Surface · host Shannon Beer

In this episode of Beneath the Surface I challenge the common coaching assumption that struggling to follow through automatically means “resistance” and I introduce a clearer framework of blocks, resistance, and fears. With rest (or lack of it) as an example, I unpack how understanding the root cause of our limitations can help us to shift our mentality and be more compassionate towards ourselves.Timestamps: 00:25 – Why “resistance” is oversimplified01:30 – Blocks: external limits on rest03:20 - Resistance: not seeing the benefit of rest04:55 - Fears: knowing it helps but still can’t rest07:55 - Compassion, courage, and origins of overworking/rest guiltMore Resources:Grab the free mini-course: Emotion Systems Audit – Download hereConnect with Shannon on Instagram: @coachshannonbeerLearn more about compassion coaching: get the details here
