Wheel of Consent: Build Boundaries & Emotional Connection

Therapy Articles

We live in a hyper-connected but emotionally disconnected world and many of us are operating on autopilot. Saying “yes” when we mean “no,” giving out of guilt or receiving out of obligation. We’ve been taught to value productivity over presence, compliance over communication and politeness over personal truth. It’s no wonder so many of us struggle with boundaries, burn out in our relationships or feel unseen and unheard, even by those closest to us. I’ve seen it in therapy sessions. I’ve felt it in my own life. And chances are, you’ve felt it too. That’s where the Wheel of Consent comes in.

Great Minds Explained

His work in the fields of psychiatry and trauma research has not only transformed how trauma is treated but has also made me a better coach by deepening my understanding of how trauma manifests both in the body and the brain.

Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn: Trauma Responses Explained

Psychology Articles

Have you ever found yourself snapping in anger, avoiding a difficult conversation, feeling completely numb or going out of your way to keep the peace? Even when it doesn’t serve you? You feel like you respond to situations in a way you would like to do differently. And yet, you do what you do, even if it is not helping you or it is not a proper response to the situation in this present moment. These instinctual reactions are trauma responses, automatic survival mechanisms deeply wired into your nervous system. Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn are protective responses designed to shield you from emotional or physical pain. While these responses may have once been necessary for survival, they can persist long after the original danger has passed, shaping your behaviour in ways that may no longer serve you.

Trauma isn’t just about experiencing something difficult—it’s about how certain events overwhelm our ability to cope and leave a lasting impact on our emotional, mental, and even physical well-being. It’s a deeply personal experience, varying from one individual to another, and it doesn’t always stem from dramatic, life-altering events. Sometimes, seemingly small or everyday occurrences can have a profound effect, shaping how we view ourselves, others, and the world around us.
