Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  Your coping strategy is "Please"

  This means you please others to stay safe. The good thing about this survival pattern is that you are conscientious, a good referee in conflict situations, helpful, and committed. On the other hand, your fear of conflict, criticism, or letting people down is keeping you stressed, and holding you back from thriving in midlife. Harbouring this subconscious fear and resistance causes stress, cortisol spikes, and worsens your menopause symptoms. It also disconnects your body and soul, lowering your spiritual frequency and keeping you from inspiration and joy.Want to know how to get out of this survival mode?
