I Thought I Was Calm… But I Was Frozen | Understanding Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn

Have you ever felt exhausted, disconnected, anxious, irritable, or unable to take action—and wondered what was wrong with you? In this video, I share a personal experience of recognizing freeze in my own body and what happened as my nervous system began moving out of it. We explore the four common survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—how they can show up in everyday life, and why these responses are signs of protection rather than dysfunction. You’ll learn: • What fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses are • How to recognize them in your own body and behavior • Why moving out of freeze can sometimes feel activating or overwhelming • Simple ways to support your nervous system as it moves through these states • How to approach these experiences with greater curiosity and compassion The goal isn’t to eliminate survival responses. The goal is to recognize them, understand what they are communicating, and help your body move through them with support. Your body isn’t working against you. It’s doing its best to protect you. ⸻ 🌿 Learn more about pain, the nervous system, and embodied healing: Free Masterclass: https://hometown-health-llc.kit.com/d... 📧 Join my email list: https://hometown-health-llc.kit.com/7... 🌐 Website: www.hometownhealthpt.com ⸻ #NervousSystem #TraumaHealing #FightFlightFreezeFawn #SomaticHealing #ChronicStress #MindBodyConnection #SomaticPractices
