What To Do When You Freeze During Confrontations

It's so traumatizing... You always find yourself unable to respond when you get confronted — and it pains you so much, because you can’t stand up for yourself…

And it makes people cross your boundaries…

It haunts you for days afterward(and I know you know exactly how you would have wanted to respond when pondering it — but you always find the right words to late)

You dream of a day when confrontation wouldn't hit you so hard...

You may think it's just the way it is because somehow you've always radiated 'weakness,' and therefore, people attack you… No matter what you say, you feel you cannot change the outcome of the situation — and this makes you feel trapped (Just writing this makes my heart ache for you, because I've been in your shoes and I totally get that feeling!).

You may think this is how your life is always going to be…

But it doesn’t have to be this way, my dear!

The real reason why you’re unable to respond when confronted is because you mentally 'give up' due to your past experiences.

So if you’re unable to respond when confronted, very likely, what actually happens is that you unconsciously believe that people are right when they confront you — and that's why you mentally 'give up' and can't find your words…

If you want to stand up for yourself and find your words when confronted, you need to change your beliefs about yourself. You must delve into all your subconscious thoughts and beliefs that are triggered when you get confronted to clear those out.

You’re a strong and sensitive soul. You’re NOT radiating weakness even though you believe that is the case.

And when you change those beliefs, you will start radiating true inner strength and heart-centered leadership.

You’ll free yourself from the feeling of being trapped and instead be able to manage the confrontation in a heart-centered way.

This is one of the first steps towards managing confrontations with unshakeable inner peace.
