S13E1 - The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles

If you’re craving more depth in your own embodiment or in the
spaces you hold with clients, vulnerability is
non-negotiable. 


It’s the key that opens us up to real intimacy and true
transformation. When someone shares vulnerably with me—whether
it’s a client, colleague or my child—I know we’ve reached the
gold. 


We’re no longer hovering on the surface. We’re in rich, honest
territory.


But vulnerability can be confronting. It asks us to feel the
tenderness, shame, or discomfort that many of us were taught to
avoid. And so, we’ve developed clever strategies—mostly
unconscious—to sidestep that feeling. 


 


In this podcast, I’m sharing the 4 avoidance strategies we use to
avoid vulnerability, and how naming your style is the first step
to doing something different. We also explore: 




How important vulnerability is for deeper connection 




Why so many of us see vulnerability as a weakness (rather
than the gift it is) 




Why recognizing your vulnerability avoidance style is crucial
to flexing your vulnerability muscle as a human (&
practitioner) 




The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles 




Why creating safe spaces for vulnerability is vital for
growth.
