💬 What "F" Phase Could Follow (Ph)oenixing? 🐦🔥
Weigh in on our monthly(ish) community prompt
Catch up on parts one, two, three, four, and five of the Fawning-to-Phoenixing series:
“Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.”
So far, we’ve covered the five F’s of trauma response: fight, freeze, flight, fawn, and flop, followed by an honorary sixth F (by phoneme at least): phoenix.
Once you’ve risen from the proverbial ashes of change, what phase might follow?
Building on our earlier monthly(ish) Community Doh discussion threads, I’d love to hear from you in the comments:1
💬 What “F” stage could follow Phoenixing?
Optional: Share a few sentences about why you chose that word/phase :)
Note: These are normally for paid subscribers only, so fellow Dohnuts can feel more secure in sharing, knowing the stories and comments aren’t publicly searchable. Today, comments are open, so I would love for you to join us!
P.S. After weighing in, continue reading the post-script to this series:
🐦🔥Phoenixing Postscript (Part Seven)
"Yet just as often, inexplicably, it is the soul itself that has brought us to that difficult place in order to enlarge us, to ask more of us than we planned on giving." —James Hollis








Flourishing and flowering.
The Phoenix doesn't just rise from the ashes, she MAKES them.
Once the dust settles, the ground transmutes the burned material into flourishing flowers 💐
Fun! After all that it is time for some fun!
