The Fear Paralysis Reflex (FPR) is a primitive reflex that begins developing in the womb and should fully integrate before birth. When this reflex is retained or retriggered by trauma or stress, it can interfere with the body's ability to feel safe, calm, and connected.

An unintegrated FPR keeps the body stuck in survival mode—activating fight, flight, freeze, or faint responses even when there is no real danger. This may show up as chronic anxiety, emotional shutdown, hypersensitivity, or overwhelming fear.

In kinesiology, the Fear Paralysis Reflex is often at the root of imbalances that don’t respond to usual corrections. It can block energy flow, affect muscle testing accuracy, and prevent other reflexes or developmental patterns from integrating.


Common signs of a retained Fear Paralysis Reflex include:

  • Emotional withdrawal or strong reactions to stress

  • Trouble falling or staying asleep

  • Sensitivity to sound, light, or touch, smell, taste and texture

  • Overwhelm in new or changing situations

  • Frequent panic or freeze responses

  • Inability to countenance change

  • Indecisive, procrastinating

  • Unable to meet commitments

  • Frequently the victim of bullying, oppressive behaviours and abuse


Integrating this powerful protective reflex helps to

  • restore a deep sense of safety and  inner security  
  • improve emotional regulation
  • support learning and behavioural development
  • enables clear decision making,
  • improves relationship and communication
  • empowers to achieve one's true potential in work and play settings. . 

At King.ie, we offer training and resources to train Kinesiology practitioners and others to integrate the Fear Paralysis Reflex with confidence and care.

Our Story

June 26th 2001


Serious Accident

In 2001, I experienced a life-changing accident that left me paralysed from the neck down, with a severe concussion and serious disruption to my brain function. Despite the trauma, I used my training in kinesiology to support a remarkably rapid physical recovery.

However, the experience reactivated the Fear Paralysis Reflex in my system—bringing intense anxiety, overwhelm, and shutdown responses that traditional treatments didn’t resolve.

This turning point led me to research, refine, and develop new techniques focused specifically on identifying and integrating the Fear Paralysis Reflex—techniques I’ve now used successfully with thousands of clients over the past two decades

2002-2006 

Researching and Learning

Once i was able to, I immersed myself in further learning—drawing from the best minds in the field. I studied directly with pioneers such as Paul Dennison, Ger Hunter, and Wayne Topping, and explored a wide range of modalities including kinesiology, craniosacral therapy, vibrational kinesiology, energy work, and other holistic systems.

Over the next several years, I dedicated myself to understanding the Fear Paralysis Reflex in depth—seeking out effective strategies, treatments, and insights that could support real change where traditional approaches often fell short.

Through extensive client work, research, and reflection, I eventually developed my own 8-step protocol—a practical, results-driven method for safely and successfully integrating the Fear Paralysis Reflex.


2007-2024 

Helping Others

For over 20 years, I’ve used my 8-step protocol in kinesiology sessions across my clinics in Ireland and internationally. Thousands of children, teenagers, and adults have successfully integrated their Fear Paralysis Reflex through this method.


Many of them came feeling stuck—held back by fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown. After working through the protocol, they returned to everyday life not just functioning, but thriving—with the freedom, courage, and confidence to move forward with passion and purpose.
