In this episode, we delve deep into the four universal responses to threat: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. This lesser-known quartet governs how we respond to stressful situations, with roots in our evolutionary past and profound implications for those healing from trauma. We examine how these reactions shape our behavior during crisis situations, the links to PTSD, and how understanding your dominant response type can aid in personal growth and foster healthier relationships. Tune in to gain insights into these trauma responses, discover therapeutic strategies to manage them, and learn to better control your emotions in high-stress situations.
