Episode #29 - In Which Kristin and Nicole Share Self-Scares
We’ve talked about how one of the type six survival strategies, our fixation, is to self-scare.
In this episode, Kristin and Nicole share some of the personal ways their brains self-scare. We do this with a good dose of laughter to help ourselves feel less alone in the experiences created by our brains and get a good dose of laughter at ourselves.
Hopefully you can laugh along and feel less alone in your own self scaring as well as understand this isn’t something that has to change for you to have the life you want.
