Have you ever wanted to take a risk, whether that's in your love life, your career, or moving to a new place, but fear of failure holds you back from taking that first step?

Children and adults who have experienced childhood trauma have a lower ability to tolerate stress than people who grew up with a normative childhood. Trauma sensitizes the amygdala to threat perception, and fear responses are triggered over time by less and less stress.

Specifically, over 90% of trauma survivors suffer anxiety disorders, with the most prevalent anxiety disorders experienced by survivors being Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder).

The underlying feeling of anxiety is fear, and the most common types of fears people experience are:

- Fear of failure

- Fear of the unknown

- Fear of rejection

- Fear of what others think

- Fear of being an embarrassment

- Fear of losing control

- Fear of being trapped

It is not difficult to see how change and doing something new can trigger many of these fears!

In this episode, I share a Q&A I had with a TRIBE member on her question, "How do I overcome the fear of failure?" TRIBE is Life Is Love School's women-only membership program. Besides asking questions in our Live Calls, members also have access to a TRIBE member-only FB group where they can ask the group and me questions anytime.

This question was originally posted in the TRIBE member-only FB group, which I condensed and share in the video with the member's permission. If you find yourself wanting to live to your full potential but struggling with the fear of change and fear of failure, I think you'll find the discussion helpful!
