Fight: Trauma Response
It is our brain’s job to protect us against danger. Whether that is a real or perceived threat, the brain will activate and will result in an action, or inaction. This isn’t the most effective way to be protected for people who have experienced trauma, because that trauma is stored so deep in our subconscious, that the threat response can activate in the absence of a real threat but in the presence of a trigger.
There is no way to avoid having your trauma retriggered and your nervous system regulated at all times. These are lived experiences that have sown their way into our nervous systems, but we can implement tools to regulate in the face of a response that may be harmful to others or yourself.
Specifically the fight trauma response. This can be one of the most damaging to our relationships and our bodies. Creating chaos in moments of intimacy with others, or chaos within our bodies, can lead to living an unfulfilling life. There is a way out of this, and that is what we want to talk about on today’s episode.
Jennifer and Elisabeth sit down to speak about fight response and how it manifested in their lives. As well as tools you can use to help yourself move the anger through your body. They worked with their nervous system and learned how to identify when they were in fight mode and how to regulate it in that moment. They now want to share this knowledge with you.
Tune in to hear their stories and how you can start your journey to a regulated nervous system.
