Fragility
In Liz Greene terms, Shadow-Work around Fragility often points to a psyche that fears it will break, fail, or be exposed—so it may over-control, withdraw, or seek reassurance.
Four areas that may be affected:
1) Love & attachment: closeness can feel unsafe; you may doubt your worth or fear abandonment.2) Self-expression: creativity/voice may be muted by perfectionism or “don’t risk it” rules.3) Work & ambition: you may take fewer risks, over-prepare, or feel easily shaken by criticism.4) Boundaries & conflict: conflict might trigger collapse—so you either appease, freeze, or guard yourself with distance.
