EP 53: Not All Fear Is Created Equal: Why Identifying Your Fear is the First Essential Step to Overcoming It

Did you know that each of us has a fear archetype? During my research for my new book, I wanted to figure out how fear keeps us stuck and holds us back, as well as what we can do it about it! My team and I discovered that there are seven fear archetypes, each of which describes a way that fear plays out and manifests itself in someone’s life.

Ready to learn more? You’re in luck! Today, I’ll dive into these seven fear archetypes, and explore why identifying your own fear archetype is so vitally important. You see, not all fear is created equal, and the way it looks is really different from person to person. Once you understand your fear archetype, you’ll be better equipped to overcome your fear.

Fear is meant to keep us safe, but it also holds us back. As I researched fear in over 4,000 people, I made a breathtaking discovery: there are seven fear patterns, or fear archetypes. Each of us possess qualities of all seven archetypes, but most of us have one or two that affect us far more strongly than the others. Ready to learn what they are?

  1. The procrastinator (or the perfectionist)
  2. The rule follower
  3. The people pleaser
  4. The outcast
  5. The self-doubter
  6. The excuse maker
  7. The pessimist

Tune into the episode to learn about each of these fear archetypes and how they show up. Have you figured out which archetype describes you? Ready to learn whether your guess is correct? Head to the Do It Scared Fear Assessment to take a quiz that will tell you exactly what your fear archetype is, and how it can manifest in your life.

[20:21] – We hear about the fourth fear archetype, which is the outcast. This archetype is characterized by fear of rejection.
[23:20] – The fifth fear archetype is the self-doubter, who struggles with the fear of not being capable.
