by Cathy Caswell | 0

Fear is reactive. We often hear the phrase “fear is power.” It shows up everywhere—politics, business, even personal relationships. The idea is simple: if you make people afraid—of failure, loss, or conflict—you can influence what they do. On the surface, it seems effective. Fear drives action. Fear produces results. But here’s the truth: fear is a short-term lever. It may get compliance, but it doesn’t build trust, creativity, or resilience. It traps energy in reactive loops, keeps people tense, and … Read More

Stress as “fight or flight” and “tend-and-befriend” When we think of stress reactions, most people imagine the classic “fight or flight” response. But there’s another, often overlooked pattern—especially in women—known as tend-and-befriend. This instinctive response drives women to seek connection and preserve relationships under threat.

Social Behaviour as a Stress … Read More

From “Elbows Up” to “Grounded Action” using Logosynthesis

by Cathy Caswell | 0

Humans React to Change We all know the feeling—when life throws challenges our way, our instinct is often to brace ourselves, dig in, and fight through it. It can be counterintuitive to take a deep breath, allowing for grounded action. In competitive work environments, high-pressure situations, or even personal struggles, it is instinctual to adopt an ‘elbows up’ approach. We push, defend, and resist, believing that if we just try harder, we will come out on top. But what if … Read More
