Have you ever noticed how quickly you can go from grounded and clear… to defensive, frustrated, or trying to fix everything all at once?   In this episode of Unwind Your Mind, we explore one of the most practical tools for understanding your emotional patterns: the difference between operating above the line and below the line.   You'll learn how fear shapes your reactions without you realising it, how this model connects directly to the Drama Triangle and the Empowerment Dynamic, and what it looks like to shift from reactivity to intention in real time.   We walk through everyday examples and the exact cues to look out for when you've slipped into protection mode, plus what to do next so you can move back into clarity and grounded leadership.   If you've ever found yourself thinking, "Why did I react like that?" or "I wish I'd handled that conversation differently," this episode will give you the language, awareness, and tools to change the pattern.   HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ We all slip below the line. Fear takes over, and we default to old patterns: defensiveness, blame, fixing, overthinking, or withdrawal. The key is learning to recognise the signs early. 2️⃣ The shift isn't about being calm, it's about being conscious. 3️⃣ One simple question can change everything: "Am I above or below the line right now?"   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Podcast Episode: The Drama Triangle: Why we Lose Our Personal Power (and How to Get It Back) Listen here.
