Buried Feeling
Fear of being trapped, pressured, controlled, obligated, restricted, resentful, confined, burdened, cornered, stuck, panicked, suffocated, afraid of losing myself, afraid of losing freedom.
Buried Belief
- “If I commit, I will lose my freedom.”
- “If I commit, I will lose myself.”
- “Commitment means being trapped.”
- “If I choose one path, I lose every other path.”
- “If I stay, I will be controlled.”
- “Responsibility will take my life from me.”
- “Commitment will cost me my identity.”
Hard-to-Go Place
Remaining faithful to a choice after the excitement fades and responsibility begins.
Next Step
Separate fear from truth. Ask, "Is commitment actually trapping me, or is it exposing my fear of responsibility, limitation, or vulnerability?"
