How to Heal Taumatic (Compensatory) Reaction

Recall an event that triggered you. Your reaction was related either to fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

Ask – what do I believe the most dominant person in the room, when this reaction occurred for the first time, thinks of me when I’m reacting this way? Who am I for them?

Now identify the voice of your self-devaluation that cemented this unsought pattern. Note that this voice might not be the same as the answers you’ve got so far. Ask:

- Under whose paradigm am I operating when I experience this triggering reaction?

- What is the voice that causes me to devalue myself?

Question the validity of that voice through logic. Realize how it is irrelevant to your life. Once you do that, you will no longer operate within the paradigm imposed/created by that person.

You can use this method to heal the fear of intimacy.
