We all respond to stress and trauma in different ways, through fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
These responses are natural survival instincts, shaped by our past to protect us in moments of danger. While they help us cope, they can also show up in ways that leave us stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
Awareness is the first step. By noticing your patterns, you can begin building healthier coping skills, stronger boundaries, and deeper self-compassion.
If you recognize yourself in these responses and want support, therapy can help you explore new ways of healing and growth.
