Your strengths are especially useful in painful situations when you can't manage otherwise and have to endure it, but not in your regular day to day life.Though these test results are only showing you your PRIMARY stress language (your most predominant one), it's important to recognize that you may fall into any of these stress languages when emotionally overwhelmed or stressed, depending on the circumstances.There’s also a private version of the quiz I can share with you if you request the free call (click button below) that will give you the breakdown of your SECONDARY stress languages 🥳KEEP READNG FOR MORE INFO👇🏽Some of the strengths you have are:Ability to shut out distractions when neededYou can easily cut ties with unhealthy people and thingsYou’re able to focus and be productiveYou can detect and step away from threatening encountersActive lifestyle to manage stressSome of the toxic traits you have are:You run away from your stress, whether that’s emotionally or physically by throwing yourself into work, hobbies, etc.You’re always “busy,” but it’s doing trivial things while neglecting what’s really important. You need a lot of space (to your own detriment) and can get defensive quickly if people start noticing that you’ve become withdrawn.

When you don't address the unproductive and unhealthy things you're doing alongside your good habits, you'll stagnate.” — Amy Morin👋🏼 Hi, I’m Dr. Taylor Burrowes!I’m a retired psychotherapist turned coach/consultant who helps growth-minded people — just like you — transform their shortcomings into opportunities for insight and self improvement while helping you leverage your innate gifts.

  My stress language is FREEZE 🥶

  Your solution is linked below.CLICK THE BUTTON BELOW TO GET MY BOOK ON EMOTIONAL REGULATION!You may have trouble believing this, but you can harness this tendency to stop and think things through before you react for better results...If you reel in the parts that aren't useful for you (these are your toxic traits, but don't worry we all have some). Your strengths are especially useful when you can take ample time to consider all the factors, possible consequences and decide on the best course of action, but not in your regular day to day life or when in a crisis or you have to act quickly.Though these test results are only showing you your PRIMARY stress language (your most predominant one), it's important to recognize that you may fall into any of these stress languages when emotionally overwhelmed or stressed, depending on the circumstances.There’s also a private version of the quiz I can share with you if you request the free call (click button below) that will give you the breakdown of your SECONDARY stress languages 🥳KEEP READNG FOR MORE INFO👇🏽Some of the strengths you have are:You’re self-aware (self-consciousness can be somewhat useful)You think your decisions through carefullyYou know when to slow down and reassessYou’re detail-orientedYou’re grounded in the presentSome of the toxic traits you have are:When faced with stress you become paralyzed, which renders you incapable of taking the necessary actions to relieve that stress. You may seem detached emotionally, but you're actually more emotionally overwhelmed on the inside (or overstimulated).People get frustrated with how indecisive you seem. You suppress and hide your thoughts + emotions from others which creates distance in your relationships. You disconnect from the experience of stress by mentally checking out, which cuts you off from getting the help you need or resolving conflict/problems with others.You may bottle things up, passive aggressively, which can spill out abruptly and intensely in the end.👉🏽 The good news is, you can unlearn these behaviors! The following steps will help you shift to a FUNCTIONAL stress language style:Learn to cope with negative emotions in more healthy ways such as exercise, journaling, mindfulness practices, cleaning, healthy lifestyle, spending time with people you enjoy and trust, etc...Work on talking out your thoughts and feelings logically. Identify your automatic thoughts (negative self talk), connect them to the emotions they trigger and the likely behaviors that follow. Aim to replace unhelpful or inaccurate thoughts with more constructive and positive ones that shift your emotions and behavior towards better outcomes.Use your skills to be of service to others. This not only takes the focus off yourself, but it builds self confidence and encourages you to appreciate when others want to be there for you too."The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears." — Dan Stevens👋🏼 Hi, I’m Dr. Taylor Burrowes!I’m a retired psychotherapist turned coach/consultant who helps growth-minded people — just like you — transform their shortcomings into opportunities for insight and self improvement while helping you leverage your innate gifts.

Empower yourself through taking on more leadership roles and using your creativity to take risks that will help you learn to stand out and get comfortable being uncomfortable.It's important for you to separate your care for someone from their choices and behaviors. You can disapprove of what they do and still love them and keep them close to you. You can also let them go when they become toxic for you to be around and love them from afar.Practice saying no to people tactfully when it's best for you and don't let guilt overcome you, practice self talk that nurtures you instead.You were probable rejected by caregivers in your early childhood years or had caregivers that were chaotic, neglectful or had poor boundaries themselves.

Give yourself options...Your thoughts play a significant role on your physical and mental health. Instead of limiting yourself to interpreting an event in the worst possible way, focusing on the negative or being annoyed with people's flaws, view the imperfections in life as an opportunity to overcome obstacles and test your capabilities. Your mindset is not fixed, keep refining and expanding its capacity for new information. Just because you've never considered a perspective doesn't mean it's not possible. Practice thinking more creatively to be more solution-focused.3. Get a good night's rest, eat well, hydrate, get outside + keep moving daily!
