In this week's episode, Kristen and Pecolia embark on a fascinating journey to understand the primal survival responses that reside within us all: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Join us as we delve into the depths of these instinctive behaviors and explore their profound impact on our everyday lives.

Discover how the fight response taps into your inner strength and courage, empowering you to face challenges head-on. Explore the flight response and how it guides you to seek safety and escape from threatening situations. Uncover the freeze response and its role in immobilizing us when we feel overwhelmed or threatened. Lastly, we shed light on the fawn response, a lesser-known survival instinct that involves seeking safety through appeasement and compliance. Gain insights into how your instincts influence your interactions with others and shapes your relationships.

Through relatable stories, practical examples, and personal insights, we uncover the hidden mechanisms behind each survival response. By unraveling the code of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, you'll gain valuable insights into your own behaviors and reactions.
