How to Keep Healthy Boundaries through Bullying, People Pleasing & Fight, Flight, Freeze - with Dr Suzanne Henwood, Stress & Anxiety Master Coach

You're going to get so much from this insightful episode of the Quiet Connections Podcast if you're struggling with either setting and keeping your boundaries; people pleasing and putting other people before yourself (and perhaps even feeling resentful); someone bullying or refusing to speak with you; and difficulties self-regulating to keep yourself out of fight, flight, freeze mode.Dr Suzanne Henwood joins us to explore the topics of boundaries, bullying and self-regulating - so that you can have those courageous conversations to maintain your boundaries when you need to. In this episode, you’ll discover new perspectives on people pleasing and 'dumb compassion'; feeling emotionally safe and flexing and maintaining boundaries. Suzanne clearly explains how we 'fall down the ladder' from being regulated, calm and balanced, to feeling fighty, flighty or freezey. What’s more, throughout this episode, Suzanne offers some helpful ways to gently bring yourself out of the fight-flight-freeze state that we can experience when our boundaries are crossed, or we feel unsafe, or we’re experiencing social anxiety, and into a more balanced place where we can connect with integrity and uphold our boundaries when we need to. It’s an absolute joy to introduce you to Suzanne Henwood. About our GuestDr Suzanne Henwood is a stress and anxiety coach; one of only 2 Master Trainers and Master Coaches in mBIT globally, and an NLP Trainer who works closely with ANLP (the Association of NLP) and is the International Ambassador for ANLP in New Zealand.
