A Hard Truth
There Is A Fourth Nervous System State Nobody Talks About
Most people have heard of fight, flight, and freeze. But there is a fourth state that almost nobody names. It is called fawn. And it is where most chronically ill people are spending the majority of their time without realizing it.
Fawn is when you are completely stuck looking outside yourself for the answer. You need someone else to tell you what to do. You need another practitioner. Another protocol. Another opinion. You scroll Facebook groups for hours hoping someone will give you the right next step. You cannot make a decision in your own healing without external validation. And you live in a totally disempowered state without realizing that this is itself a nervous system response. Not a personality flaw.
I lived in fawn for years. Looking back I see how every single decision in my healing journey was filtered through someone else's opinion first. I did chelation because someone recommended it. I tried protocols because someone said they worked. I never once stopped to ask my own body what it needed.
The Mind Body Healing Bundle is the work that helped me move out of fawn. And it is the work that I now teach every single person I work with because almost no one is doing it.
