The Somatic Path to Self-Leadership

From Fawn Reflex to Embodied Expression

Breaking Fawn Workbook Cover - The Somatic Path to Self-Leadership Phase One: The Safety Anchor

The Curriculum

4 Phases. 7 Modules. A complete rewiring of the nervous system.

This is not a mindset course. You cannot think your way out of a survival reflex. This is a somatic roadmap designed to release the tension of the "Good Girl" from your jaw, your voice, and your hips, so you can stop surviving your life and start thriving by leading it.

Phase One: The Safety Anchor

The Goal: To validate your survival strategy, remove the shame, and establish a new baseline of safety in the body.

Module One: The Good Girl Strategy

The Anatomy of Appeasement

We dismantle the myth of the "People Pleaser" and reveal the biological brilliance of your survival response.

Lesson 1.1: The Bodyguard. Why you aren't broken, you're just stuck in a high-stakes survival loop.

Lesson 1.2: The Internal Surveillance System. Decoding "Neuroception" and why you read a room better than a spy.

Lesson 1.3: The Chameleon Effect. Identity erosion, the somatic mask, and the cost of being a mirror.

Module Two: Decoding the Signal

Intuition vs. Trauma

Learning to distinguish the urgent scream of fear from the quiet whisper of intuition.

Lesson 2.1: Intuition vs. Trauma. How to tell if it's a Warning (Truth) or a Wound (Trigger).

Lesson 2.2: When Calm Feels Dangerous. Why your nervous system resists peace and how to widen your window of tolerance.

Lesson 2.3: Somatic Orienting. The foundational tool to manually turn off the "danger" switch in your brain.
