Listen "56. Does 'feeling' scare you?"

Episode Synopsis

Are you afraid to be still?  If you do slow down for a moment, what are you afraid of?  
For some of you,  being still might feel relatively traumatic.  You may even find yourself bracing, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.  
My 'compensatory strategy' in life was to stay busy.  When I was busy, it meant I didn't have to feel.   I was afraid to sit with my feeling because I didn't know how to sit with my feelings.  I didn't even really know what I was feeling.  
Today's podcast is all about the compensatory strategies we fall into to feel safe, loved and worthy.  I share in this episode my strategy and share a couple additional ones to help you think about and identify yours.  We all have them-so know that you're not alone. 
Key Topics:

Why compensatory strategies are what we use to feel seen and worthy in the world.
Why so many people are afraid to be still.
What compensatory strategies might hold us back from.
Further questions for contemplation and reflection to take this podcast deeper.
