  • Fawn - A Very Misunderstood Survival Response
    Jun 25 2024

    Fawn is the last F in the 4 Fs of survival responses that we have at our disposal when faced with perceived or real threat. Fawn gets a really bad wrap so it is important to understand how it tries to help us survive. This is the first part. Next time I'll be looking at how Fawn serves us, because it doesn't seem like it is helpful at first glance.

    Again the book by Pete Walker referenced is Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving

  • The Freeze Survival Response in Action
    Jun 24 2024

    As I said in the last episode I wanted to give some real live examples of how the freeze response can operate in the face of real danger. Here I explain what happened with my survival responses and what I learned.

    Don't miss next week's episode when we will take a look at the much overlooked fawn response as survival.
