What if the classic trio of fight, flight, and freeze barely scratches the surface of how humans respond to stress? In this deep-dive episode of Tactical Evolution, we unveil the full spectrum of 12 human survival responses—from Fawn and Tend to Blend, Bind, and Shapeshift.

Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and real-world examples—from executive protection to parenting and politics—we explore how each behavior emerges, what triggers them, and how they shape our decisions, identity, and relationships.

Whether you're a coach, leader, investigator, or simply someone curious about human behavior, this episode will forever change how you see yourself and others under pressure.
