2) Freeze: difficulty making decisions, feeling stuck, dissociation, isolating.

3) Fawn: people pleaser, lack of identity, no boundaries, overwhelmed, codependent.

4) Fight: anger outburst, controlling, “the bully,” narcissistic, explosive behavior.

Stephanies shares the following exercise:

Take some time to think about a recent incident in your life where you fell into a trauma response – then identify what part of the response did you fall into? Was it struggling with boundaries, being the perfectionist, having an anger outburst, attempting to control a person, place, or thing? Once you name it and acknowledge it then lean into the space of how you could handle the same or similar incident moving forward. How can you be more of the healing version of yourself as opposed to the past, hurt version?
