Emotional Intensity: A first responder who witnesses a violent or life-threatening event may develop the subconscious belief that "the world is a dangerous place." This intense experience can lead to chronic hyper-vigilance or PTSD, causing them to feel on edge even in safe environments.
By Association: If you were repeatedly dismissed when speaking up as a child, your mind may link self-expression with being ignored. This forms the belief "My voice doesn't matter," which often persists into adulthood as a hesitation to speak your truth.
Personal Experiences: If you faced a period of your life with limited support, you may have hardwired the belief "I have to do it all on my own." This can cause you to avoid help and lead to burnout, even in current situations where support is readily available.
