Understanding Body Awareness: Tuning into Fight, Flight, and Freeze Responses

In this episode, the hosts introduce the first module in their Inner Child Journey course titled: 'Moving Inward,' focusing on regulation tools for adults during fight, flight, or freeze responses. They discuss attunement to one's body, noticing physical sensations, and understanding the body's reactions to stress. Several techniques are demonstrated, such as rubbing ear lobes and using the 'VOO' sound to stimulate the vagus nerve. The session emphasizes the importance of body awareness, energetic space within relationships, and the impact on family dynamics. The conversation also highlights the need for grounding techniques, movement as a form of release, and creating supportive environments to better manage stress and emotions.
