What is Your Fear Factor?
by Michelle Butt
Fear – Four little letters that mean so much. Yet, is there literally a fear factor for everyone? Or is there something much more complex and diversified going on when we feel challenged, stressed, or that our backs are against the wall? What if this fear factor was something we could see and discern in the mirror?
As I began my coaching practice many years ago, clients would come to me, and I would begin my work with them using the protocols I had been given in my coach training, working under the assumption that all human beings have the same core fears. The results I achieved with those first few clients, although helpful, just didn’t seem to get to the heart of the issue for everyone. Could it be that not everyone had the same core fears? Could there be another solution to offer that I wasn’t seeing?
Fear Factor: Ask Questions Bravely
The questions I asked myself in those early days led me on a quest to deeply understand human nature as well as our biggest challenges and fears. The quest led me to face reading. Subsequently, it was in the face that I found the answers I sought. These answers have been providing lasting solutions for my clients ever since.
Our faces are not just the unique combination of maternal and paternal DNA that comes together to embody a physical representation of an individual, but is also the offering we give to the world that translates our personality traits, behavioral patterns, response to life experiences and most importantly, what our greatest fear factor will be.
Fear Factor: Not All the Same
All of our fears are not the same even though we are all human. However, the dominant features on our faces can give us an indication of the theme of our fears and thus provide us with valuable insights into facing and even conquering them.
If you are someone whose prominent features include dimples, red hair, freckles, or sparkly eyes, your challenge will be fear of rejection. The thought of being without love or being unlovable and not being the center of attention can be the thing that cripples you, leads you into potentially unhealthy relationships or leaves you lonely because you don’t want to feel the pain of rejection, yet you crave the company of others.
If you have a prominent nose, strong upper cheeks, high eyebrows and fine bone structure, your greatest fear will center around the concept of enough. You may never feel good enough no matter what you achieve. You may live in a perpetual state of lack and be worried that there may never be enough. You may hold others to impossibly high standards, so that they can never be good enough for you.
If you are someone who has a well-defined jaw, strong eyebrows or indented temples, your biggest fear will be around being shamed. You are someone who is competitive and driven. You are a change agent and leader. Being publicly humiliated or losing can be things that keep you up at night and that you can’t deal well with. Your desire to be dominant is so strong that anything that would call that into question or belittle you in the eyes of others can shatter your self-esteem and self-worth.
If you are someone who has a full mouth, rounded features, or fullness in the upper and lower cheeks, then your biggest fear will be being left alone and not having a community. You are a nurturer by nature and desire people to take care of in your life. It is your purpose. If you are alone, you are unfulfilled. There is no one to tell your story to or to feed. The act of giving feeds your soul and your purpose. A life without others to care for can be devastating for you.
Lastly, if you are someone who has one or more of these features: a domed forehead, strong chin, or natural shadowing under the eyes, your challenge fear factor will be in its basest form. You may be one who is frozen by fear, real or imagined. The unknown can stop you dead in your tracks. You have a strong connection to the unseen and a vivid imagination. As such, you can create more to be afraid of than actually exists. The challenge for you is to discern what is healthy fear, such as caution, and what is irrational fear, such as fear that is unfounded and based on the most unlikely outcome.
When we look in the mirror, our faces give us clues to our own unconscious behavioral patterns. Being able to identify our unique challenges opens up a world of understanding. No longer do we have to compare ourselves to people who don’t understand why we react with trepidation in situations that they do not. The solutions to the unhealthy expressions of each of our unique fears are now more easily discernible and treatable with processes that are as individual as we are. The ability to redefine fear factor by our features allows acceptance to surface in a whole new way.
