#381 - The Truth About the Moro & Fear Paralysis Reflexes: Why Progress Feels Stuck


Listen Later

“I’ve been doing the Moro and FPR exercises for three months but haven’t seen any positive results. Why?”

This is a common question we hear from parents, therapists, and caregivers working on primitive reflex integration—especially with the Moro Reflex and Fear Paralysis Reflex (FPR).

In this episode, we break down what these two powerful reflexes are, how they impact emotional regulation and sensory processing, and the hidden reasons why you might not be seeing progress even after consistent reflex work. If you’ve been feeling frustrated or stuck in your reflex journey, this episode will give you clarity and next steps.
