The 4 F's: Fight, Flight, Freeze, & Fawn


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss the various "defense systems" we have access to when we feeling unsafe and threatened. We look at these through an evolutionary lens, but more specifically, how they show can show up in an unhealthy way in our day-to-day life.

You can learn more about the fawn response, coined by Peter Walker, at this link.
