Hi Marybeth, great article. I found it interesting to see you mention fight or flight. I had a guest writer on my blog last week, and that is exactly what he wrote about, that for years he felt that was his only option. Fight a losing battle or run away. I remember feeling that way myself for a long time, feeling whats the use of trying to finish a word I can't say, so instead I would opt to avoid or give up. Fortunately, I hardly do that anymore, but every once in a while, the human reaction to shame or fear creeps in and I do find an old avoidance habit greeting me. Good insights - thanks for sharing this! ~Pam
