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. Most of us are familiar with the fight, flight, and freeze, but fewer of us are aware of the fourth, fawn. We go into detail about the fawn response and how to bring awareness to these patterns.

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